Episode notes
Manage Altitude And Attention
- Discern what deserves altitude and what deserves attention and intentionally shift between them.
- Rise to see trends and descend to stay connected, doing so by intention not emotion.
When To Stay Above Or Dive In
- Stay above details when focused on big issues, when a capable leader can handle it, or when developing other leaders.
- Get involved when culture drifts, a key leader struggles, a decision shapes the future, or your authority is required to move things.
Plan Lightly, Prepare Thoroughly
- Plan lightly but prepare thoroughly; keep plans flexible and on pencil.
- Create margin—financial, time, emotional, and spiritual—so you can act when unpredictable opportunities or crises arise.
