- Content is not king. Information does inform, but it does not inspire.
- Purpose is the why we do what we do.
- Divide what others need to know and what is neat to know.
- Make the audience’s relevance more important than the speaker’s interest.
- “We” and “us” is better than “me” and “I.” A leader involves the team.
- Leaders benefit from reiterating and repeating the key points.
- Empathy and teamwork are nice, but they want and need to hear hope.
- It’s hard to put confidence in leaders that don’t have confidence in themselves.
- You should want to support your team more than want your team to support you.
- Try to be a role model instead of a role manager.
