Welcome back to Tim Stating the Obvious, where we cut through the noise and get to what really works. In this episode, we're breaking down the “DO” principles of leadership—taken straight from the U.S. Army Field Manual 22-100—and translating them into practical tools you can use today in business, life, and leadership.
Core Takeaways You Can Act On Immediately:
Influence with PurposeDon’t just give tasks—explain why they matter. When people understand the reason behind the work, they show up differently. Get input. Praise effort. Influence starts with clear communication and genuine motivation.
Operate with FlexibilityPlans are great—until they get punched in the face by reality. That’s why effective leaders build plans that can bend, not break. Trust your team to make decisions, and assess what’s working so you can pivot with purpose.
Improve Through Coaching and FeedbackYou don’t get better by avoiding mistakes. You grow by learning from them. Give real-time feedback. Build trust. And create space for your team to fail forward. Growth starts when you stop fearing failure.
Lead by DoingThe “DO” principle means action. Not theory. Not titles. Action. Real leaders don’t just delegate—they engage. They walk around. They stay human. They coach, connect, and correct with humility.
Whether you're leading in the office, the military, your community, or your own household—these principles apply. They aren’t fancy. They’re obvious. And they work.
