Takeaways

Be Authentic: Work in line with your values, own your feedback directly, be the same person at work and outside
Be Vulnerable: Lead with your mistakes, make it safe for others to fail, encourage challenge even publicly
Be Accepting: Delegate outcomes not activities, coach people to improve in their style not yours, accept different approaches
Be Present: Put your phone away, give full attention, show up physically when possible, consider if you give or drain energy
Be Useful: Stop doing the work, coach and open doors instead, pass the pen and let others own the plan
Ask "What do you think?": It's powerfully empowering and helps people feel heard
Efficiency vs Effectiveness: The fastest way (just telling people what to do) is often the least effective
Build diverse teams: Don't hire clones of yourself - different approaches strengthen the team
Leadership isn't looseness: Know what's going on, stay close enough to coach and drive results
Results through people: You can be a nice human AND achieve great results - it's not either/or
