Three Star Leadership | Wally Bock | Groupthink
Warning signs of groupthink
- We’ve always done it that way.”
- “That’s the right way.”
- “Everybody does it this way.”
- “That’s standard practice.”
Not examining standard practices
A subtle form of groupthinking: When we don’t question a norm or standard practice, that’s lazy thinking.
You can challenge everything you do, you just can’t challenge everything all at once. The whole idea of continuous improvement is based on always looking for ways to do things better. Continuously.
Stopping with the first workable solution
Another subtle form of groupthinking: When there’s a problem to solve and you call a meeting for example, the group wrestles with the problem and comes up with a workable solution. At that point most groups declare victory and adjourn.
That’s a mistake and an opportunity missed.

Three Star Leadership | Wally Bock | Leadership: Make Those Tough Conversations Easier
Tough conversations
If leadership is your job, you can’t walk away from them. Because they're part of your job.
These are conversations about performance and behavior. Most bosses dread them.
Make tough conversations easier
- Touch base often, to catch problems when they're small.
- Build relationships through conversations. Your employees will learn about you and whether they can trust you.
- Have regular one-on-ones with your team members.
- Solve problems as they appear. The smaller, the easier to handle.
- Keep tough conversations private, away from distractions.
- Tailor what you say and do to the person you’re meeting with.
- Treat people with dignity.

Don't take credit
Bad leaders take credit for the good things and pin any blame for bad things to others.
Good leaders let the credit go to the team and team members. They only call attention to themselves wh...
Don't call attention to yourself
Your task is to help your team and team members do good work. You should understand that the mission is important, not you.
As a leader, you’re just there to make things work better.
Your coaching style
Coaching should be your primary tool in leading. If your coaching sessions seem more like you’re the therapist and your team member the patient, you’re doing it wrong.
Your team members should pay attention to how it will be different in the future.
