Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- We’ve got nice-sounding values up on the wall and the website, but they do nothing in the room when a real hiring or judgment call is on the table
- I always lead with the ask and then wonder why people put up walls
- I keep catching myself making calls based on how they’ll make me look rather than what’s actually best for the thing I’m building
- I realize I know exactly what each person on my team is working on this week but almost nothing about where they’re actually trying to get to in their life
- Things have gotten hard and there’s a real temptation to quietly set aside the very principle I built this whole thing on
Practices that may help
- How to Win Friends and Influence People, Made Practical
Dale Carnegie’s book reduces to one disposition expressed many ways: become genuinely interested in other people and make them feel important — through their names, real listening, and sincere appreciation rather than flattery. The principles are practitioner wisdom rather than tested protocols, but most align with well-established findings on reciprocity and liking. - Cialdini’s Principles of Influence
Robert Cialdini identified six near-universal levers of persuasion — reciprocity, commitment and consistency, social proof, authority, liking, and scarcity — that bias people toward saying yes. They’re drawn from decades of social-psychology research and field studies; the principles are well established even though individual effect sizes vary by context. - Make core values operational, not decorative
Use core values in hiring, recognition, and decision-making — not just on the website.
The Rockefeller Habits: Scaling Up with Rhythm and Focus - Principled Negotiation, Made Practical
Principled negotiation, developed by Roger Fisher and William Ury in Getting to Yes, replaces positional bargaining with a method built on four elements: separate the people from the problem, focus on interests rather than positions, generate options for mutual gain, and insist on objective criteria. It aims for agreements that are better for both parties than their alternatives — without requiring either to capitulate or play hardball. - Reciprocity
Give something first — value, help, a concession — and people feel pulled to give back.
Cialdini’s Principles of Influence - Channel ambition to the institution, not yourself
Care more about the organization’s success than your personal legacy.
Level 5 Leadership: Humility and Will in Great Leaders - Getting to Yes: Principled Negotiation
Getting to Yes (Fisher & Ury, of the Harvard Negotiation Project) argues for negotiating on the merits instead of haggling over positions: separate people from the problem, focus on underlying interests, invent options for mutual gain, and judge outcomes by objective criteria — with your BATNA as the source of real leverage. It’s an influential framework grounded in decision theory and negotiation experience rather than a lab-tested protocol. - Learn what each person actually wants from their career and life
Care personally means knowing the goal behind the job — not just what they’re working on, but why.
Caring Personally: The Foundation of Radical Candor - Caring Personally: The Foundation of Radical Candor
Kim Scott’s "care personally" is the axis of radical candor that separates candor that helps from candor that harms: it means genuinely giving a damn about the person — their growth, goals, and life outside work — not just their output. Without it, even honest feedback lands as attack. The framework is practitioner-derived from Scott’s time at Google and Apple, grounded in well-established research on trust and feedback receptivity. - Maintain Why consistency across boom and crisis
The Why is tested not in good times but when it is costly to uphold — that is when it either becomes real or becomes revealed as rhetoric.
