• What I love is taking a vague idea and grinding it into something done and shipped
• Where I come alive is in the human glue
• I’m at my best when I’m getting a room aligned and fired up

   Strengths-based leadership, developed by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie building on Gallup’s decades of manager research, holds that the most effective leaders invest in their own strengths and build teams whose combined strengths cover all four leadership domains — executing, influencing, relationship building, and strategic thinking.

10. The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX)
    The 4 Disciplines of Execution (McChesney, Covey & Huling) is an organizational strategy framework built around four practices: focus on a wildly important goal, act on lead measures, keep a compelling scoreboard, and create a cadence of accountability. Evidence is primarily organizational case studies and observational data; controlled trials on the framework as a whole are limited, but the individual components (implementation intentions, feedback loops, social accountability) have broader research support.
