Coaching Session Notes:

The Magical Leader

A magical leader enters Joe’s life - and changes everything.

Setting Expectations

Great leaders set clear expectations that set up their people for success.  They understand the struggles they’re going to encounter, and preempt how they should be handled.  They understand the learning curve that will be necessary, and give them permission to make mistakes to learn.  They understand the inertia of mediocrity, and set the expectation for excellence.

Keys to Recruiting

Hiring mistakes are incredibly common.  We bring someone onto a team with an impeccable resume, and we’re quickly disappointed.  It’s not a good fit.  Their work is subpar.  We can’t get them to where they need to be.

This is often a result of improper recruiting.  While most managers screen primarily for things like experience + education, great leaders screen primarily for what that person believes - about themselves, about the industry, about the world.

To make great hires, we must screen for motivational intelligence first, before weighing education + experience.

The Habit of Self-Reflection

Feedback is not good, it’s not bad - it just is.  It’s information that helps us improve.  But we need a framework for processing this information, and making use of it.  Enter: the habit of self-reflection.

99.99% of the time, the information you’ll receive is not all positive, and it’s not all negative.  So we must categorize accordingly, then apply what we’ve learned.

We do this with 3 simple questions:

  1. What did I do right?
  2. What did I do wrong?
  3. What will I do differently next time to get the result I want?
  4. Helping People Become the Best

    Great leaders recognize that their responsibility is not just to manage the tasks and activities of their people.  It’s not just to marshall the time + resources of the team.  It’s not even just to accomplish the team goal.

    The responsibility of a great leader is to help people become the best version of themselves; to realize their full potential; to self-actualize.

    When leaders show this level of commitment, dedication and care - their people can’t help but improve in their role + develop a newfound sense of loyalty.

    “You must love and care for your people to such a degree that they’ll do the right thing when you’re not there - because they don’t want to let you down.” - Randy
