Get into the pre – Christmas spirit with Naked Leader Bingo
Naked Leader Week – 186 (w/c Monday 11 December 2006)
Get into the pre – Christmas sprit with Naked Leader Bingo
You may have heard of, and played Jargon Bingo
In a meeting or on a phone call, tick off as you hear each word or expression – you “win” when you have completed a line. Shouting “House” or “Bingo” may not help your career. So, if you are “playing” with others, compare how you did afterwards!
| Commodity | blocking and tackling | directionally correct | touch point | mind share |
| domain | Physics | channel | the notion of | integration |
| spot on | Enterprise | cycles | crisp | end of the day |
| leverage | Friction | space | framework | facts and data |
| partner | cash flow positive | fierce | multi-modal | drain |
Great fun, however one of the other values of Naked Leader is to be positive, and with this in mind, I invite you to play Naked Leader Career Bingo…
This one is different, with Naked Leader Bingo I invite you to spot, or make, a contribution over one week, to win
What do you win? Do it, and see how you feel. And how your people react. And how your organisation chooses to change.
| Things to ask | Things to say one to one | Things to say one to many | Things to do |
| What are your thoughts? | “I’m sorry” | “Our future is our choice” | A presentation without a PowerPoint in sight |
| What are we going to do to turn this project / whatever into a success? | “How do you feel about that?” | “I have a lot of time for…” | Welcome someone back in your company who has left |
| How can we as a company help our community more? | “I really love working with you because…” | “I know this has not gone well for us, and that’s my fault” | Identify your successor and tell them |
| (In a meeting). Is that a true decision? | Repeat back what someone has said to you | “I am totally dispensable” | Have a conversation with the receptionist / cleaner |
| “How can I help you?” | “Tell me about yourself” | “Thank You” and mean it | Buy a small gift as a well done for someone in your team |
With love and best wishes wherever you are in our wonderful world
