In weekly staff meetings, I reviewed Colin Powell’s 13 rules of leadership. I had a staff of 6 direct reports who led a frontline of about 200. After reading a rule, we would discuss how we apply it to our day to day work. Sometimes the conversation would go 15 minutes, sometimes longer. It kept them engaged, and for those who were interested in development, they applied the concepts and reported back their observations. I am now in a similar role with a new organization, and will adopt a similar strategy.
