There are a variety of qualities someone may have that help them excel in this category. For example, they may possess <strong>discipline<\/strong> to help them stay on track toward a goal, a <strong>sense of personal pride in working hard and achieving<\/strong> things, or a sense of <strong>responsibility<\/strong> for their team\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To demonstrate what an executor looks like in action, the authors share the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/motivational-success-stories\/\">success story<\/a> of Wendy Kopp, founder of an education-focused nonprofit called Teach For America. Kopp exemplifies the executing theme with her dominant characteristics of <em>achievement<\/em> and <em>responsibility<\/em>. After realizing the lack of quality education available to underprivileged children in the US, Kopp felt <strong>a personal sense of responsibility<\/strong> to create education opportunities. She <strong>worked persistently<\/strong> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-organize-a-team\/\">organize a team<\/a> of talented people and has now gathered hundreds of millions of dollars in funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In an interview since the publication of <em>Strengths Based Leadership<\/em>, Kopp discusses <a href=\"https:\/\/wendykopp-tfall.medium.com\/what-ive-learned-it-will-take-to-re-make-the-world-7620fbf1228f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">additional keys to her success<\/a> that align with other strengths mentioned in this book. For instance, she discusses the importance of <em>strategic thinking<\/em>\u2014analyzing what actions are working best toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/steps-to-achieve-your-goals\/\">achieving your goals<\/a> and adjusting your approach to incorporate more of whatever those things might be (we\u2019ll discuss this strength in more detail later). For Kopp, she realized that the most efficient and effective type of education she could deliver was that which developed leadership skills in children\u2014confidence, self-awareness, and critical thinking.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-actionable-let-your-team-know-you-re-willing-to-help\">Actionable: Let Your Team Know You\u2019re Willing to Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re a leader who executes,<\/strong> you likely feel a strong sense of responsibility for your company\u2019s success. So, Conchie and Rath say to make sure your team knows you\u2019re not just willing to fulfill the needs of your customers\u2014you\u2019re also willing to help your team members succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you have a team member who executes,<\/strong> give them the freedom to assume more responsibility on the team. People who execute are typically motivated by new opportunities to contribute to their team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>How to Execute Like a Navy SEAL<\/strong><br><br>In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/leadership-strategy-and-tactics\/1-page-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Leadership Strategy and Tactics<\/em><\/a>, US <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/jocko-willink-navy-seal\/\">Navy SEAL Jocko Willink<\/a> outlines several qualities that align with Conchie and Rath\u2019s <em>executing<\/em> theme. For instance, Willink promotes discipline as foundational for executing tasks that need to be accomplished (he has an <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/discipline-equals-freedom\/1-page-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">entire book<\/a> dedicated to this subject). He also regards <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/leadership-strategy-and-tactics\/1-page-summary#empower-your-team-to-lead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">discipline as a stepping stone toward taking pride in your work<\/a>. <br><br>That is, <strong>when you remain disciplined long enough to execute your job well, you develop pride in what you do<\/strong>.&nbsp;Willink\u2019s view on responsibility is that it\u2019s beneficial to <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/leadership-strategy-and-tactics\/1-page-summary#good-leaders-take-responsibility-for-their-teams-problems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">take ownership of any problems that occur on your team<\/a>. This avoids any time wasted on casting blame and inspires your team members to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/accepting-responsibility\/\">take responsibility<\/a> for future problems. <br><br>For instance, if someone on your team makes a mistake because they didn\u2019t properly follow a company policy, instead of blaming them for not understanding it, you would accept the responsibility for not effectively educating them about it.&nbsp;When it comes to delegating duties to others, Willink agrees with Conchie and Rath that giving team members as much responsibility as they\u2019re willing and capable to bear (letting people act on their strengths) is not only empowering, but it also <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/leadership-strategy-and-tactics\/1-page-summary#empower-your-team-to-lead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">builds trust and helps them grow into more competent individuals<\/a>.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why are leadership execution skills important?
