For this year, my goal is similar to last year; to read 18 books.
One of the books I finished recently is called “Executive Ownershift”, written by Dan Norenberg.
Dan is an executive advisor, coach and consultant who helps executive teams to play at their best. Executive Ownershift is a transformative growth program that enables leadership teams to deliver peak performance, which is outlined in detail in Dan his book.
What did I appreciate most?
What I really liked about the book, was the vast amount of very practical tools shared. Specifically the 5 elements of a Senseful strategy with the Strategy Scorecard, make an abstract concept very tangible. I also valued the clarity with which the 3 levels of engagement (responsibility, accountability and ownership) were written and outlined. These levels are for me the difference in being part of the game vs doing everything possible to win the game. Lastly, I appreciated the reviews of previous leaders and teams that Dan had helped, this made the book very ‘alive’.
Truly great leaders know that you don’t have to be bad to become better
What is my tip for this book?
I had to ‘unstuck’ myself in the early pages of the book, meaning that for me the ‘Executive Ownershift’ framework was not fully clear at the beginning. Once I got half way through the book, around the chapters related to “Make Meetings Matter” and “Senseful Strategy”, the puzzle pieces felt together in the framework.
What is my takeaway from this book?
Next to all the practical techniques and tools, my learning from this book is twofold.
The first take-away comes from the stories of former clients. They re-emphasize the following:
Truly great leaders, who are leading highly effective leadership teams, know when to trust themselves and know when not to trust themselves. They are very conscious on what they are good at and they know what to delegate. Truly great leaders know that you don’t have to be bad to become better.
A framework, like Executive Ownershift, helps to keep matters tangible and practical within a set structure. It affirms my vision on Triangular Leadership; the combination of Exploration, Exploitation and Practical Application.
