Mr. Shaw shared with Becker’s the three simple items he shares with executives and emerging leaders:
1. Be the person who gets work done, and help others do the same. “If you become known for this, more opportunities will present themselves,” he said.
2. Learn to communicate, both up and down. “I have benefitted from gathering various teammates into a room to critique my message. This has helped sharpen and clarify my message for its intended audience,” he said.
3. Ask the next question. “Be curious enough to understand the nuances of your situation, versus just getting the ‘right’ answer,” he said. “This will help you become skilled in accurately assessing whatever situation you’re in.”
