Clear Leadership

most common problem I see

being visibly in-charge

people want to see

members are willing to defer to clear leader

won't be challenged in SAR context

except when essential: safety

get and keep attention

project voice

Don't sweat the decisions

the big stuff is obvious

the difficult decisions are always between near equal choices

any choice is good enough

important point is that a choice is made

defer to your team unless you have a strong opinion

Questions

Additional points

Team leadership

  • goal: coordinated action
  • listen
  • make decision
    • the hardest decisions are generally the least important
      • it's hard because the choices are equally good
      • any choice in such a situation is better than hesitating
    • be clear on what the decision is
      • spectrum of clarity: "I think we should", "let's", "I've decided"
  • project your voice
