CONTENT OF THE WEEK

Leading as an Individual Contributor

Brian LaManna

You don’t need a manager / leadership title to lead.

Nor does it have to be time-consuming.

My simple goal is to share learnings across my team and org.

In the most efficient way possible.

No if / ands / or butts

I have a calendar task every Friday to tag my team in 2 calls.

My goal is to spread some quick learnings and make it easy for them.

Real example from 10/25 – Tagging your Team in a Call / Specific Moment (21:31)

Situations I look for:

– Competitive intel from a prospect/customer. When they share what they love, hate, or even sometimes share their screens!

-When I did poorly on a call/moment and want to ask my team how they’d approach it differently

-When I’m proud of something I did on a call and want to democratize that to others

-Funny bloopers (favorite)

WATCH IT

Low effort task (5 minutes) with a high impact.

Spread the learnings.
