Understand the realities and impacts of the work. - It takes discipline to know you are asking for the truth and receiving it. ### Giving feedback - Give feedback right away. People want to know. - [[Feedback early; often; always; ongoing.]] - [[When you want everyone pulling on the same rope, they all need the same mental image of what's going on.]] - [[To row as one, everyone must aim for the same destination and move at the same beat.]] - "Give feedback. Time moves fast. Tell things now." ### The people - "It is only and ever about the people." - "[[A great working relationship is rare. When you find it, you should feed it.]]" - "Much of the best things that have ever come out of the world, have come out of groups of people that found each other, held onto each other, and together made something that none of the individuals could have made." - [[Extraordinary things come from great people working together on impossible problems]]. ### Delegation - Your output increases when you have help. - [[Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.]] ## See also - [[Tools want to be used.
