"The secret of my success is that we have gone to exceptional lengths to hire the best people in the world….You're well advised to go after the cream of the cream. A small team of A+ players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players.” —Steve Jobs

Establish long-term strategic goals

supported by short-term tactical plans that produce faster learning and energizing

success. Breaking the vision down into

smaller SMART goals effectively expands leadership capacity and applied wisdom

Productive Goal Setting

Give each person a voice and listen

empathetically to fully appreciate

perspective and context. Push decision-making to whoever is closest to the

opportunity/problem, and empower them with decision-making authority

Productive Teamwork

Allow each person to make choices and

make those choices expressions of what you stand for. Such autonomy gives a

sense of self-determination and control, improving motivation. Combine this with

mastery and purpose to maximize results.

Productive Motivation

Faculty Engagement

“Throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.” –Dale Carnegie
