Hey everyone! I’m officially creating a new account. Check out all of my content @thedrmsteiner — I have a free gift for all of my current followers who switch over.
@SeanPHogue Oooft imma need a whole thread on that second bullet.
It basically is a task manager + calendar manager that time blocks tasks. But if something comes up, it re-shuffles it to based on a bunch of rules you can customize.
Never thought about having someone build something custom
Do all that within the first 14 days of taking over as the leader.
You'll have all the trust, camaraderie and motivation you'll need to crush whatever you want to accomplish for the next quarter.
Rinse and repeat once a quarter.

Third: You are then going to take to lunch the 1-2 people that everyone named as the "go to" person on the team.
This person is the center of gravity for the team; treat them as your MVP.
Ask them whats the #1 roadblock/pain point for the team.
Then fix it.
My wife and I started cold plunging.
It’s started as one of those stir-crazy things families do between Christmas and new years.
The first time, everyone was cheering, made it fun.
This morning I did it alone.
What are you doing right now just because everyone is watching?
@KenPaulCarroll Love this “checklist”
If you consider yourself a “leader” you should audit your calendar against this list of activities.
If you don’t have enough of these activities on the calendar you should readjust immediately.
Here's the #1 mistake I made as a leader:
I missed that "leading" is a completely separate activity from everything else I was doing.
Creating a report is not leading.
Sending emails is not leading.
Having a meeting is not leading.
What do you think is a leadership activity?
@drmasteiner Leadership has different contexts, imo, but always involves *change*
In fact, corporate leadership = Change management
We see it practiced in biz, sports, war.
If it doesn't involve
-People
-Future
-Vision
-Influence
-Change
Then it's not leadership
