This is a great breakout for any of your management/leadership team. It focuses on eight words, all ending in “ate:” Create, Communicate, Educate, Delegate, Participate, Hibernate, Evaluate, Amputate.
1
Create
Create the right environment, atmosphere and group of people. This also includes Larry’s famous 20-60-20 Principle.
2
Communicate
The importance of communicating expectations.
3
Educate
What your people really need to be educated on, and how to do it.
4
Delegate
Questions every leader should be asking himself before he delegates a task.
5
Participate
Are you involved, or do you hover? Includes Larry’s Rules for Rewarding.
6
Hibernate
When to trust and walk away, so your group can do what you’ve taught them and deliver what you expect from them.
7
Evaluate
What to judge, what you have no right to judge, and the stupidity of “constructive criticism.”
8
Amputate
When to hang on to them, and when to cut them loose.
Notice that Motivate didn’t make the list – find out why!
