Leading with the heart, head, and hands means starting with the messiness of our humanity and that mess to inform our strategy. Once we do that, then we get radically tactical.

Every single change we want to see in our teams and organizations begins with the leader. We acknowledge that every aspect of our work happens within the context of relationship and that the relational dynamic on our teams will align with the tone we set. We take responsibility and begin with ourselves.

We don’t take the blame. We take the responsibility. That’s radically tactical. My sleeves get rolled up. My hands get dirty. I show my team how it’s done, then I ask them to follow suit.

Don’t go big. Go bold.

Often the smallest adjustment can have the biggest impact. Honest, vulnerable action, even small ones are always experienced as boldness by the people around us.

Never underestimate the power of your own humble honesty.
