Executive Leader Improvement feedback: CB

Clinton – We can talk sometime… here is a good first cut

You are not weak in any of these categories.
You are stronger in some than  others.
So I have grouped the strengths
The ones grouped on  the top are higher strengths than the ones on the bottom.

[ ] Displays honesty and integrity
[ ] Solves problems and analyzes issues
[ ] Focuses on results
[ ] Practices self-development

[ ] Exhibits technical & professional expertise
[ ] Innovates
[ ] Takes initiative
[ ] Champions change
[ ] Develops others

[ ] Establishes stretch goals
[ ] Inspires and motivates others
[ ] Communicates powerfully and broadly

[ ] Develops strategic perspective
[ ] Builds relationships
[ ] Collaborates and fosters teamwork
[ ] Connects the group to the outside world


Where you need to improve to grow as a leader in the next two years
ð  => You do good stretch goals for yourself. Establish better stretch goals for product, company and team. 
ð  => Figure a better way to Inspire and motivate others



Talking Notes
  • accomplishing results != focusing on results
    • i dont focus on WHO to put on the job to get the job done. sometimes, i assign the person available / not capable of doing the job
  • practicing self development is important to keep on top always => continue to do
  • integrity  => continue to do
  • stretch goals => people will work on those stretch goals ONLY if it forms part of their career goals
  • people will reveal their career goals ONLY if there is a relationship with them
    • you have to tell people some believable reason why they should work for you
  •  connects the group to the outside world => doing an evangelist type of role, like what Ambi or Vijay sarathy type of role
  • innovates -> hitting the lid, in bursts and starts but not continuous
  •

Abundance vs Scarcity Mindset

Breaking the Scarcity Mindset ( source ) Sure, talent plays a role in enhancing the amount of money people earn (and the ease of the earning), but it’s not the key factor. What makes the fundamental difference between the haves and the have-nots is the strength of four particular beliefs: First, the specific belief that there are plenty of people out there who are willing to exchange money for something of value. Second, the specific belief that you can offer something of value . Third, the specific belief that you can communicate that value to the people willing to pay for it. Fourth, the specific belief that you can make an offer - right now (or very soon) – that can generate the money you want to have.

How to ask for Budget

But the main mistake I was making was not first ASKING the client what their expectations were. I'd just present to them, and pray to Jesus/Allah/Buddha that I got something out of it. I later learned that if I was in a meeting and a client asks the question, "So how much does this cost?" It meant I was no longer in control of the situation . Years later I learned a technique known as " The Bucket Technique ” to talk money. This technique is a framework for finding out how much your client is willing to spend, even in you aren’t comfortable talking money like me. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CONCEPT because it will save you fro...
