Mike Michalowicz shows how a scrambled-word puzzle reveals a leadership principle: give employees a clear start and finish for each task, and they'll fill in the middle themselves. This simple framing dramatically improves performance.
Are you a business leader who wants to guide their employees to having successful outcomes but sometimes struggle? I think I have the solution for you. My name is Mike Michalowicz. I am the author of this book, All In, and I want to show you what we can do as great leaders. I'll do it by example. Look at this phrase on the screen. These are scrambled words, and I wonder if you can read that. Can you determine what it says? Probably not. It's probably pretty difficult. But if I simply give you the proper first letter and last letter for each word in the proper position, I bet you can read it. It's the exact same phrase on the screen. Can you read that? People naturally excel at filling in the blanks. Great leaders clearly define the start and finish. The results, I assure you, will be impressive. I know you could read that. And all I had to do was give you the start and finish. And that's what great leaders do. Give your team the proper start and clearly do it. The proper finish and clearly do it. And they will impress you throughout.
