The eight Feiner's laws of leading your subordinates are:

1. The Law of Expectations

People respond to the level of confidence you show in them—expectations are a ceiling on performance, not a floor.

2. The Law of Intimacy

To lead your people, you must know your people.

3. The Law of Building a Cathedral

Leaders convince their people that they’re building a cathedral, not cutting stone.

4. The Law of Personal Commitment

If a leader wants a subordinate to be to committed to the success of the leaders and the leader’s organization, then the leader must be committed to the subordinate.

5. The Law of Feedback

Feedback is a gift—but to be useful, it must be camera-lens feedback, and a leader must connect the dots between feedback and its impact on the subordinate’s performance, the team’s performance, and the subordinate’s career. If the leader withholds feedback out of a desire not to de-motivate, that leader actually retards improvement in a subordinate’s performance.

6. The Law of Tough Love

On those occasions where it is as difficult for the leader to speak out as it is for the subordinate to hear, High-Performance Leaders have courage to say what needs to be said.

7. The Law of Competency-Based Coaching

The lower a subordinate’s skill and experience level, the more coaching and teaching a leader must provide.

8. The Law of Accountability

If you want all the leaders in your organization to follow these laws, have to hold them accountable for doing so.
