Put This Into Action
Learning sticks when you use it. Choose one idea from this book and apply it in your next interaction, meeting, or decision. Start small, notice what works, and adjust. Leadership grows through practice, reflection, and honest feedback. You do not need permission to lead. You need intention, clarity, and a first step.
- In the next 24 hours, make one clear request, with who, what, and why.
- This week, write a one sentence vision for your project, share it with your team.
- Before your next meeting, define the desired outcome, and the minimum agenda.
- Pick one stakeholder, ask what “good” looks like, listen fully, and take notes.
- End each day with a quick retro, keep one start, stop, continue action.
Keep your experiments small and visible. Celebrate progress, even when it is rough. When something works, make it a habit. When it does not, learn and try again. Your team will feel the difference as you lead with purpose and care.
