TCLP 2009-07-08 Inner Chapter: Leader as Law Giver

This is a feature cast.

In the intro a quick review of the family friendly game, Cheeky Monkey.

Listener Feedback this week comes from Philip Durbin who writes about using frameworks to help manage code complexity and Gladwell’s review of Anderson’s new book, “Free”.

The hacker word of the week this week is elephantine.

The feature this week is an Inner Chapter on when a leader must act as law giver.  This builds on my previous chapter on leadership.

    One thing you didn’t really talk about is trying to set clear expectations and being consistent. as a way of preventing conflicts. Making clear what is acceptable and unacceptable makes those tough conversations easier because everyone already knows what is going to happen. No surprises.
