Summary
From the legendary Silicon Valley manager who inspired Radical Candor， the three simple rules for creating happy， engaged teams。
Businesses everywhere are plagued by managers who seem to think that keeping their staff miserable is the best way to deliver profits。 This is a failure of leadership that also hurts the bottom line; research has shown that maintaining a happy， engaged workforce consistently drives measurably better business results across the board。
In When They Win， You Win， Russ Laraway， the Chief People Officer at Qualtrics， provides a simple， coherent， and complete leadership standard that teaches organizational planners and managers how to develop incredible levels of employee engagement。 The book identifies three key elements: clear direction-setting， frequent coaching， and active engagement with employees on their long-term career goals。
Russ Laraway's approach to management， developed at Google， Twitter， and Qualtrics， shows the way to cultivate a happy， productive， and engaged team。 Happy results are sure to follow—for you， your customers， your shareholders， and your employees alike。

Too dense to get through。 Heard the author on Gretchen Rubin。

People Leaders - Think back to 2019。 How much time did you get to spend with your individual team members？ Did you fly together？ Eat dinners out of town together？ Spend windshield time while driving to a sales call？Now think about the world of work in 2022。 Have you been able to do any of these things over the last several years？ How often have you been able to have deep conversations with your team members vs 30-minute Zoom check-ins？ And how many new teammates have you hired that you have not People Leaders - Think back to 2019。 How much time did you get to spend with your individual team members？ Did you fly together？ Eat dinners out of town together？ Spend windshield time while driving to a sales call？Now think about the world of work in 2022。 Have you been able to do any of these things over the last several years？ How often have you been able to have deep conversations with your team members vs 30-minute Zoom check-ins？ And how many new teammates have you hired that you have not met in person yet？We'd like to think the pandemic is over and we are returning to "normal" but the reality is that the world of work has changed。 Most of us are going to operate in a hybrid remote-first world going forward。So if we don't have this non-Zoom time with our team that we used to have， how do we develop trusting relationships focused on helping them achieve？This is where Russ Laraway's new book When They Win， You Win can give you some direction。 Russ has operationalized a quote that I've used for a long time from Zig Ziglar "If you help enough other people get what they want out of life， you'll get what you want out of life。"The leadership tools that Russ shares focuses on three keys; Direction， Coaching， Career。 He details how to build a culture around each of these areas。The section in around Career that resonated the most with me was a tool called The Life Story Conversation。 This is an opportunity to not only really focus on getting to know your team member at a deep level， but also to start to identify the values that have driven their past choices and motivators to help you support them going forward。 This is a more formalized method to have those conversations that we may have casually had in the car as we wandered the countryside。In the new world of hybrid work， leaders are going to have to be much more intentional about building relationships with their teams and Russ offers us a set of tools to successfully do just that。 。。。more

I heard about this book from a friend and actually pre ordered it and was super excited to read it。 The examples are extremely visual and I loved many of the USMC references and how the leader （manager） should make sure those they represent are heard。 I know this is a business book for managers from the C’s to the bottom。 I’m now retired and feel like this book was motivating in dealing with folks in everyday life even outside the business world。 *** I bought this book and highly recommend it！

When I was reading Russ Laraway's book， I was reminded of a story from the bar that Mark Cuban founded in Bloomington before he was of legal drinking age。 It got shut down because of an incident involving an underage minor， but he had a guy who was a lousy bartender。 He wasn't on time， and he didn't meet the mark。 Everyone felt terrible about getting rid of him， because he was universally liked。 They realized that he needed to become a manager， so that's where they put him。 He was far better as When I was reading Russ Laraway's book， I was reminded of a story from the bar that Mark Cuban founded in Bloomington before he was of legal drinking age。 It got shut down because of an incident involving an underage minor， but he had a guy who was a lousy bartender。 He wasn't on time， and he didn't meet the mark。 Everyone felt terrible about getting rid of him， because he was universally liked。 They realized that he needed to become a manager， so that's where they put him。 He was far better as a manager than as a bartender。 I received a review copy from NetGalley and have left my opinion。 。。。more
