Episode #257 // I came across an article by Shanna Hocking, which introduced me to the concept of the Leadership User Manual. Hocking credits its origins to Adam Bryant, who wrote an article almost 10 years ago titled, What if you had to write a user manual about your leadership style? Imagine the power of a physical document that can help your people to understand how they can best work with you. What a great idea! Knowing how your boss operates, and what he values, could save you years of guesswork, as the only other way to work it out is through trial and error. I wish I’d thought of this years ago! In this episode, I take a deep dive into the concept of the leadership user manual. I look at the benefits and risks, and I take you along the journey with me as I develop my own inaugural leadership user manual.We’ve also created a leadership user manual template, a free download, so that you can develop your own guide.Source Material: Books (on Amazon)One Bold Move a Day - Shanna HockingPrinciples - Ray DalioFast Company Article:How to be the boss everyone wants to work for - Shanna HockingLinkedIn ArticlesLeaders Need User Manuals (and what I learned by writing mine) - Abby FalikWhat if you had to write a "User Manual” about your leadership style? - Adam Bryant————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?
