Help others grow & shine; put yourself behind
(Arts of Brilliance & Grace*)
‐ Give your team all credits for success while taking
yourself the responsibility for its failures
‐ Release others brilliance through graceful words,
regardless of their rank or status
‐ Pursue their growth as an end in itself, never as a mean
to more profit
‐ Don’t try to motivate others; create an environment in
which they can motivate themselves
‐ Learn to recognize the patterns of life, of leading &
following, to know when & how not to interfere
* Inspired by Mark Strom in “Arts of the Wise Leader”

Connect yourself & others to the whole
(Arts of Story & Promise*)
‐ Subvert powerless words & interpretations through
stories that allow new purposes & possibilities to emerge
‐ Let culture transform itself as your stories unfold
‐ Dare to speak in darkness: talk with promise about the
future, while recognizing org. realities & their limitations
‐ Always maintain the dialogue, even in the face of
breakdown
‐ Commit to all this and all the world will conspire to help
you realize it
* Inspired by Mark Strom in “Arts of the Wise Leader”
