SHOWNOTES:
Why you should listen: Leadership skills for recognising success
Introduction:
As the author of Moments - Leadership when it matters most, of course I had to review Chip Heath and Dan Heath's new book, The Power of Moments: Why certain experiences have extraordinary impact.
Key Premise: Defining moments can be designed, we don't need to just wait for them.
Key insight: Leadership strategies for designing defining moments
There are four elements in defining moments (and you only need one of the four elements to make a defining moment).
Elevation: accentuate sensory experience, use novelty, use surprise, disrupt routine.
Insight: create stretch opportunities by putting people in new and unusual circumstances getting them out of their comfort zone; stretch is for LEARNING not success.
Pride: accentuate accomplishments through public recognition, recognise milestones, create opportunities to show courage and showcase it for a ripple effect.
Connection: create opportunities to share joy, and design experiences that create shared struggle and hardship for bonding in adversity.
What's missing in the book: HOW TO SHOW UP in the moments that matter: the energy, focus, presence, and emotion needed to hold the space for yourself and others in the moments that matter (I cover this in my own book, Moments - Leadership when it matters most. Did you notice the subtle plug there?!)
RATING: Get in e-book. Not quite hard copy worthy but better than book summary only.
