Quigley and Baghaic: As One Manifesto

Quigley and Baghaic: The 'As One' Manifesto

Creator: James Quigley is CEO of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, and Mehrdad Baghai is Managing Director of Alchemy Growth Partners.

Purpose: A manifesto for transforming individual action into collective power and “…help you realise the full power of your people.” As One is the Deloitte organisations global initiative on collective leadership.

The As One Manifesto (summary)

Adding the phrase “as one” to another word changes its entire meaning. Imagine the possibilities… The sources of inspiration are endless. Believing As One. Stronger As One. Succeeding As One.

 

Leadership = People + Purpose + Productivity

 

Three Key Elements to Collective Leadership

1 Shared Identity as part of the larger organisation

2 Direction Intensity to impel people to contribute

3 Common Interpretation to foster cooperation

 

Eight Leadership Styles – because not all people are the same

1 Landlord <> Tenant

2 Community Organiser <> Volunteers

3 Conductor <> Orchestra

4 Producer <> Creative Team

5 General <> Soldiers

6 Architect <> Builders

7 Captain <> Sports Team

8 Senator <> Citizens

 

The timeless challenge of leadership is that you cannot get large groups of people to behave As One if they do not identify with each other as a unified group or team.

Alina Tugend: The Mistake Manifesto

Alina Tugend Mistake Manifesto

Creator: Alina Tugend, Author of Better By Mistake

Purpose: Our fear of mistakes has a high cost – we spend energy blaming each other and we avoid daring and innovation.

Manifesto

While I am not advocating that we all run around blundering and goofing up all the time—and certainly none of us like dealing with people who make the same mistake over and over—our fear of mistakes has a very high cost.

We exert enormous energy blaming each other when something goes wrong rather than finding a solution. Defensiveness and accusations take the place of apologies and forgiveness. Mistake-avoidance creates workplaces where making changes and being creative while risking failure is subsumed by an ethos of mistake-prevention—at the cost of daring and innovation.

  1. Teach supervisors about growth mindsets versus fixed mindsets.
  2. Make sure you don’t say one thing and do another.
  3. Mimstakes shouldn’t just be accepted, but rewarded.
  4. Learn to communicate well.
  5. Know how to apologise and how to accept apologies.
