  • LMA (Leadership Management = Accountability) is caring about your people and being a Great Boss.
    • Leadership is made up of 4 things: Working “On” the business, thinking “On” the business (Clarity Breaks), Providing Clear Direction to your reports, and Creating opportunities for you reports to succeed.
    • Management is 4 things: Working “In” the business, Setting Clear expectations for your reports, Communicating well so that expectations are clear both ways (yours and theirs) and Executing well.
