Now that we’ve covered the first two, it’s time for the third principle of Vigilant Leadership: Enabling the Action Plan! Note how we said “enabling,” not “doing.” That means we’ll also be talking about letting go of control. Enabling the action plan means assigning the right people to the right roles, creating foundational operating principles for success, building capability and setting expectations, letting things go, and practicing self-awareness. Put it all together in this episode. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:
- Why leaders need to practice self-awareness
- Understanding your responsibility as a vigilant leader
- When is it appropriate to micromanage?
- Understanding the difference between a thinker and a doer
- The 5 points of enabling your strategic action plan
And as always, if you need help in building your Strategic Counsel, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at: ForthRight-People.com.
