Leadership Skills: Basic Tools (Handout)

Later today I am delivering a session on leadership skills to members of the Health Care Association of Michigan, and I'm taking a bit of a different take on it. The three skill sets that I am advocating are:

  • Truth
  • Courage
  • Curiosity

Each set has within it a number of things that you can work on to develop capacity–no matter where you are in your organization's hierarchy.

Two specific things that I will mention in the talk are the ladder of inference and the behavior-impact feedback model. I mention these two so often, that I have created a four-page handout that explains them. I decided it would be best for the participants in today's talk to have this document, so I'm posting it here.

    Love it, love it, love it. I keep coming back to courage, truth and curiosity myself…I am more and more convinced this is at the very core of what is missing from many of our organizations today and missing from our way of leadership. Metrics, strategic plans, social media…none of that stuff really matters if you do not have the foundation in place so that those tools are used in the right way for the right purposes. Keep on keeping on brother.
