   Care For The Roots

   Performance is a math problem. It's not an input, it's an outcome. The math is simple: performance = intention x capacity x opportunity. In the last episode, we talked about intention. Now, when you add capacity and opportunity, you finally arrive at performance. The result of a person with right intention, enough capacity and some opportunity is...performance. So, if all those other things are the required inputs, I guess the question is: why do we only talk about performance?

   What Are Your Intentions?

   We spend a lot of time in leadership paying attention to outcomes. Performance. Accomplishments. What about intentions? Does it matter what someone "meant" to do? Do we care if the "intent" was good? Should we? In this episode of In The Lead, Nathan discusses the first half of the question: the intentions going in. What should/could leaders accomplish if we ask about the intentions before the event? The answer might surprise you.

   Ask Them Why

   Every job has a what and a why. The what is the same for everyone who does it. The why isn't, and it changes more than you'd think: how the day feels, what gets done that nobody assigned, and what your team learns from you without you saying a word. This week is about the difference, and about who's handing out the why in your building.
