Practical Tips for Leaders (1) --People Do What You Do--

17

In 1976, I was assigned to an Air Cavalry Troop in Germany. My unit was participating in Exercise REFORGER when we were given a mission one day to pick up about 50 Army Rangers at a designated pick-up zone.

We took off that afternoon and attempted to make radio contact with the Rangers. For approximately 30 minutes, our seven UH-1H helicopters circled a short distance above the landing area. It was very damp that day, about 35 degrees Fahrenheit and drizzling rain with a light fog. We finally landed in a small field to conserve fuel and went to flight idle. After waiting about 10 minutes, we shut down our aircraft as our commander continued to try to make radio contact with the Rangers.

Our commander had a policy that any time you shut down an aircraft, you should perform a post-flight inspection. We sat in our helicopter debating whether we should get out in the less-than-desirable weather to conduct the post-flight inspection. Figuring it would only be minutes until we cranked our engines and departed the field, nobody got out.


From my vantage point, to the right and the rear of the lead aircraft, I could see our commander talking on the radio as he referred to his map. After about 15 minutes, his door opened, and he climbed up on the top of his helicopter. He inspected the main rotor and related parts and generally looked over his aircraft. The commander then climbed down into the wet grass and continued to do an inspection, checking his aircraft completely. He never looked at the other aircraft, but slowly each crew emerged and began the same post-flight inspection on their respective helicopters.

In about 20 minutes, we got the word to crank, and we took off. Soon the code “Send More Chicken” was heard on the radio, and we picked up a group of very tired Rangers and flew them to their destination.

Our mission was completed that day, but over the years I often have thought about how important it is to do what you say you’re going to do, as demonstrated that day by our commander.

Amidst some Twitter taunting from fans, Price tweeted:

Then, he took on the TBS post-game studio crew, which includes former major league pitcher Dirk Hayhurst and writer Tom Verducci:

"Dirk Hayhurst … COULDN'T hack it … Tom Verducci wasn't even a water boy in high school … but they can still bash a player … SAVE IT NERDS"

Maddon says the lesson learned is more important than making any changes to the way the Rays operate.

"I don't want to take one isolated incident and try to turn it into something," Maddon said. "I think that's something we do nationally a little bit too often. I really hate to legislate behavior. I have a lot of faith in David. I think David did the right thing after he did the wrong thing. Sometimes, you've got to make a mistake in order to come out on the other side and be better. I believe in the future you're going to see better judgment.“

Said Price: "Twitter should be used for good. That wasn't the right way to use it. I know I've had my instances where I haven't. It really got the best of me the other night. It was an extremely poor decision."

control himself” It was a mistake, so how does he respond?

Practical Tips for Leaders--Own Failure, Be Gracious Toward Others--

25

When we screw up, own it“You just witnessed an extraordinary poor example of leadership – it will not happen again”

When others screw up, be gracious in public & be direct, constructive, and hopeful in private“This is completely recoverable if you re-commit to our standards – I’ll be on your wing”

Always look forward, not backwards“Use this event to better your judgment and that of your buds”


What happens when you don’t “own it”?

Bob Filner•10-term U.S. Congressman•51st Mayor of San Diego•RESIGNED – 31 Aug 2013 – amidst accusations of sexual harassment

• “When a lynch-mob mentality exists, rumors become allegations, allegations become facts, and facts become evidence”

• “If given due process I would be vindicated” • “Not one allegation has ever been independently verified or proven

in court…I have never sexually harassed anyone.” • “To all the women I offended, I had no intention to be offensive.”

Never owned it

Did not know groping &

kissing might be offensive?

This is the Result of Years of Bad Habits&

No One Willing to Correct Mr Filner


Practical Tips for Leaders--Build the Right Habits--

29

Create the right habits for yourself• Personal, family, professional

Affirm others who have positive, disciplined habits

Care enough to work with those who have bad habits – give corrective feedback


Those who have studied the issue have found that negative feedback isn’t always bad and positive feedback isn’t always good. Too often, they say, we forget the purpose of feedback — it’s not to make people feel better, it’s to help them do better.”1

Practical Tips for Leaders--The Art of Corrective Feedback--

Listen, Give It Straight, Then Give ‘Em Practical Tools


For Example

“Squint with your ears” to get context

With context understood, give it straight:- “You’re behavior is inconsistent with our standard”- “You’re not representing us well”- “I’m concerned about you, big time – you are not

taking care of yourself”- “You know, you might be screwing up your future”

31

Tap into unit pride

Demonstrate concern

Appeal to selfish motivation

Thinking Like a Leader

LEADER PREFLIGHT CHECKLISTAm I modeling good leadership every minute?Am I consistent in behavior at work, at home, on

social media?Am I embracing the standards expected on our

team?Have I set expectations with the team?Have I given the team tools & resources to

succeed?Does the team know I genuinely care?


"The character that takes command in moments of crucial choices has already been determined by a thousand other choices made earlier in seemingly unimportant moments. It has been determined by all the 'little' choices of the past--by all those times when the voice of conscience was at war with the voice of temptation, [which was] whispering the lie that 'it really doesn't matter.' It has been determined by all the day-to-day decisions made when life seemed easy and crises seemed far away…” – President Ronald Reagan

On Character


Point to Ponder--Russ Keller--

• A leader is visible all of the time, living in a glass house. Keep in mind the audience is a big one and ever present.

– PRACTICAL ADVICE: Don’t look at the glass house as something negative; the glass house effect is actually a huge advantage that gives us the opportunity to reinforce the good stuff all the time

43

Never Underestimate Your Effect on Others


Poor Judgment & Leadership are Mutually Exclusive


• Never drink and drive, even “just a few.”

• Taxi
