Second, the importance of going slow to go fast and the negative impact that can occur of trying to move too quickly before you’re prepared
Third, realizing when you need to re-learn things that you think you already know
Fourth, you can make excuses or you can make time, even for the trivial but important
Fifth, get the support you need

Building a Learning Organization

2. How Principle Driven Leadership inherently helps build learning organizations
3. How to put these concepts into practice
Ultimately the focus is on how to create more leaders and build a durable organization.

Leading With Principles
Seth shares the story of Soren, a former director of corporate operations at a sports equipment retailer.
Soren took a new job as VP of Operations at a small startup serving athletes with direct-to-consumer products and online services to help them grow. He provides his team with a playbook full of best practices that he learned over the years and emphasized the importance of adhering to them. Unfortunately, this reduced his team’s ability and drive to make decisions when unforeseen situations arose in Soren’s absence, jeopardizing their position against new competitors.
Seth presents an enabling principle that emphasizes the core of Principle Driven Leadership - that leading through principles rather than practices is a more impactful way to lead.
