The field card · for the leader in the second chair
You are responsible for a culture you do not control.
You don't control him. You control the conditions. Two pages: six dependencies to score, one to circle, four tools to start Monday. Free, by email, one message and no sequence.
What is on it
The six dependencies a big personality creates.
Score each one on cost to the organization, not annoyance to you. Then circle the highest. That one is your year.
The waiting roomDecisions queue behind one person.
The mood taxStaff energy goes to predicting him.
Preference as policyHe said it once. It is now law.
The filterBad news stops travelling up.
Bad coversEveryone imitates his style without his gift.
Push-poweredThings move when he pushes, stall when he doesn't.
Then four tools, one handlebar each: the Dependency Map, the Wall List, the Standing Truth Slot, the Name on the Section. Grab one and start it.
If it dies when he leaves, it was never culture. It was weather. Written by an executive pastor who carries this seat at his own church, and built Second Chair for the office work around it.
