When taking on a new role, position, or assignment, good leaders do everything they can to define the criteria of success and to understand the expectations others have of them before they jump into the fray.
Loving this approach and I'm sure they're questions we don't all ask
When I did my research, people told me what things were and what they weren't. For example, they could tell me what work looked life and felt like when a leader cared and when they didn't care. So, this idea of describing what thing are and what they aren't really does help us 'colour inside the lines'
Great advice, but the most important insight here is unstated. Leadership advice is almost always biased toward “do this” and “do that” and rarely addresses “never do the other thing.” As a result poor leaders actually execute the “to do” list even as they demonstrate a host of behaviors that would end up on anyone’s “don’t do” list. It’s a recipe for chaos.
