Clear Leadership

most common problem I see

being visibly in-charge

people want to see

members are willing to defer to clear leader

except when essential: safety

get and keep attention

project voice

2 min

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
