Global Leadership Summit (part2)

Wow, more amazing speakers...posting more notes as they are so inspiring...hope to post once more today....

Wca day 2 cont

Michelle Rhee
movie "waiting for Superman"
Changed DC education system forever
CEO students first
He parents told her "you are what you are because of the lick of where you are born" soooo true with affluent or poor, inner-city children
How do you bring in the talent you need and how do you keep them 
there?
Is the beaucracy  stopping the good talent from getting hired?
~Look up Masloves hierarchy of needs
(bridget sidenote) if you can teach your kids anything...teach them not to care what others think
 (I would much rather listen to anger then apathy)
Proverbs 31:8
Check out workbook "experiencing God"

Session 6b
Henry Cloud
Truth=reality
Give good feedback "oh really? Tell me more"
Categories of people
Wise, fools, evil
In reality all of us have these parts :)
-Wise person..when the light comes to them they adjust themselves they change to match reality (correct s wise person and they will be wiser still
     When you confront them they smile/say thanks
  Leadership strategies: resource them, talk to them
   Challenge- make sure they are a match for what you need and be sure to keep them challenged

The Fool....may be smartest or brightest person at the table..but she the light comes they adjust the light and try n dim it or adjust truth (excuse it or minimize it)... Not happy to hear and get angry...often merge with someone and divide team...they do NOT own the problem
    Challenge-do not confront or correct a fool. Strategy: stop talking! Make clear consequences, then follow thru
      Discuss their problem with talking about problems....talk about the pattern "I don't know how to give you feedback when you aren't receptive, I've got to protect the culture of this team and were are talking about any other issues...we are going to talk about THIS issue..I have to minimize my exposure to that"
  ?How can I talk to you where you are going to listen and be receptive?  
        Or how do you want feedback?.......then....okay i am going to do that but how are we going to handle it if it happens again?  Discuss consequences.
"  I need someone to sit in that chair that can hear reality and I want that person to be you"

Evil people
Want to inflict pain on other people.  Destruction is in their heart.
Reject an evil person after one warning 
.....they call lawyers and the police

Lead people, get the people to work your plan...take the challenge to not let someone's character destroy your plan
