fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will

spend it’s whole life believing it’s stupid.”

- Albert Einstein

Can You

Remember

These?

How About

Now?

Context is Worth 80 IQ Points

Explain WHY are you doing X, Y, or Z?

Too often we assume knowledge that does not yet exist in

younger employees. “There’s stuff they don’t know yet”

Share the Big Picture

• Start with end in mind. Share the vision but let them determine the way to get there.

• Provide context, parameters, and tools.

Driving Conversations

•What’s the best way to communicate with you?

•What motivates you to be your best?

•How can I best provide you with feedback?

•Most meaningful recognition for you?

•What do you need in order to do your best?
