The Eight Essential Skills for Every Leader and Leadership Team
This year we celebrated our sixth anniversary in business. In that time, and over the course of our combined careers, we have assessed, coached and led more than five hundred executives and leadership teams. That experience has led us to determine the eight essential skills necessary for every leader and leadership team.

These are not the usual suspects. We base our work on widely available, credible research published by recognized management and leadership authorities. These are deeply powerful, meaningful skills that drive change, satisfaction and productivity. Our work focuses on presenting a fresh approach that some of our clients have described as “candid but kind.” We never leave our clients to sink or swim—for each of the skills, we ensure our clients can swim or we jump in the pool and pull them up.

We use this checklist—an essential guide—to ensure leaders and change teams have the skills necessary to succeed.
The Eight Essential Skills include:
- Mission, vision and values
- Providing clear direction
- Taking corrective action
- Addressing performance issues
- Engaging stakeholders
- Collecting and sharing credit
- Reward and motivation
- Making change stick

Book:
Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. Pink
This book describes one of the most powerful management and leadership principles to come out of modern psychology.
Extrinsic motivators such as salary, bonuses and material rewards are necessary for most employees but not sufficient enough to produce outstanding results. The most important motivator for most people is the opportunity to make meaningful progress toward significant goals.
Provide feedback on meaningful progress and set significant goals. These are more powerful than any other motivation theory.
That's it in a nutshell: read, absorb, apply.
