Dr. E: The three R's of leadership come down to receiving, responding and rallying. He says these three things have formal and informal implications for how you connect with your teams and departments. Dr. E says you can see where and how you can improve or stay the course in terms of leadership.
Doctor E here wanting to take a minute to talk to you about the three R's of leadership. Why do I think these three R's are important? Well, I think they have formal as well as informal implications for how you connect with your teams, your departments, your folks, as well as how are folks understanding, perceiving, how you communicate, your transparency, all of the other not necessarily tangible dynamics of leadership, but are crucial and critical to how your culture moves, changes, shifts and reflects what you want to do and accomplish as a leader.
And so the three R's come down to these things. The first is receive. How do you receive feedback? How do you receive good news, bad news? How do you receive the dynamics and the things that are happening within you, within your organization in ways that actually promote, model how you want folks to receive and understand you as a leader? Are you hotheaded? Do you lash out? Are you somewhat laid back and calm? Are you very voiceless and vocal, introverted or extroverted? All of these kinds of reception things really model where and how folks gauge you as a leader.
The second is respond. How do you respond to all of these dynamics? As I mentioned, lashing out, being quiet, being more reflective, communicating, connecting, taking the time to reflect and think. All of these responses are super critical in how folks view you as a leader and how they actually view your leadership style in terms of different things that come up within your organizations. And then the last piece is rally. How do you rally the truths? How do you garner support? How do you mobilize?
How do you get folks excited about whatever it is and however it is you're going to go about accomplishing the day to day, pursuing goals and reacting and responding. And so if you think about those three R's as it relates to your leadership, how you receive ways in which and how you respond, and then how do you rally the folks? I think you will actually be able to see where and how you can either improve or where and how you can actually stay the course in terms of your leadership. I'm Dr. E and I will see you next time.
