Do you hear people talk about “servant leadership”? I work with leaders who talk about working “for their team.” People misunderstand how to effectively work for their team.  Serve your team strategically for long-term success.

I subscribe to the idea that if I have to do something more than a few times, it should be automated. In less obvious situations, automation can increase visibility and provide faster feedback. Here are some ways I have used automation to create value faster.

“What do you value?” I was asked in an interview over fifteen years ago. I had not given “values” a lot of thought. I realized the question about values was very different than what I expected. Have you thought about your values? What do you value? How do you share those values with your team?
