ADVICE

Reward Deserve Not Need

  • Teach others how to deserve your attention by setting clear, reciprocal steps they must take.
ADVICE

Teach People To Earn Your Support

  • Set clear reciprocal actions: they step, you step more; they don't, you don't.
  • Use small, explicit asks to teach people how to earn your calls, time, and support.
INSIGHT

Leverage Group Over Individual Effort

  • Lead large groups rather than individuals because most contributors produce little by themselves.
