Law 41 — Your Style: ប្រសិនបើជំនួសអ្នកដឹកនាំចាស់ បង្កើតស្ទាយផ្ទាល់ខ្លួន

Honor what worked, fix what didn’t, then imprint your leadership style so the team knows “how we work now”.

Theme Transition • Identity • Credibility Use First 90 days as new leader Outcome Clear norms • Consistent decisions • Stronger trust

When you replace a previous leader, people compare everything. Don’t copy or rebel blindly—integrate: keep the useful, remove the harmful, and make your operating style explicit.

1) Core Principles (ស្នូលស្ថាបនាស្ទាយ)

Respect the past

  • Identify 3 things that clearly worked—keep them.
  • Thank the team members who carried them.

Decide with signals

  • Listen fast → act on data (S/Q/T metrics).
  • Write decisions; timebox experiments.

Make it teachable

  • Turn your style into 3–5 simple rules.
  • Reinforce via daily/weekly rituals.

2) 30-60-90 Transition (Roadmap ជំនួសអ្នកដឹកនាំ)

Days 1–30: Learn & Stabilize

  • Stakeholder map (Client • Site • Office • Suppliers).
  • Baseline KPIs: Safety, Quality, Schedule variance.
  • Keep existing cadence while observing.

Days 31–60: Tune & Align

  • Introduce your Top-3 leadership rules.
  • Fix 2–3 high-friction processes (e.g., CO, inspections).
  • Clarify roles (RACI) where confusion exists.

Days 61–90: Embed & Scale

  • Launch one signature ritual (see below).
  • Publish before/after KPI trend and wins.
  • Mentor backups; delegate decisions intentionally.

3) Define Your Style (ស្ទាយដឹកនាំផ្ទាល់ខ្លួន)

Your 5 Rules (example)

  1. Safety first decision. If unsafe → we stop.
  2. Write it. No verbal scope/changes.
  3. Top-3 focus. Finish the few that move the many.
  4. Numbers talk. % complete, blocker age, pass rate.
  5. Respect. Praise in public; coach in private.

Signature Moves

  • “10:15 Stand-Up” with Goal • Blocker • Help.
  • End-day 10-min walk & photo log.
  • Friday 5-slide client update (S/Q/T + next).
Tip: Put your 5 rules on a small poster at the site board.

4) Cadence & Rituals (បង្កើតទម្លាប់ស្ទាយ)

Daily

  • Stand-Up 10:15 (2–8 minutes).
  • Board update & owner on each blocker (≤24h).
  • End-day walk: defects tag • % complete • photos.

Weekly

  • Reset Top-3 priorities; lock 2-week look-ahead.
  • Retro: 1 keep • 1 stop • 1 start (timeboxed 15’).
  • Publish KPI snapshot to client and team.

5) Communication Plays (ស្គ្រីបសន្ទនា)

To the Team (Day 1)

  • “We’ll honor what works and fix pain quickly.”
  • “My style = Safety • Quality • On-Time + Top-3 focus.”
  • “Decisions are written. Ask for clarity anytime.”

To the Client (First week)

  • “You’ll get a short Friday status (S/Q/T).”
  • “Changes go through clear CO—no surprises.”
  • “If risk ≥ 2 days delay, you’ll know same day.”
Leadership cue: Repeat your style phrases until the team can repeat them too.

6) Trust & Execution KPIs (វាស់ស្ទាយថ្មី)

Stand-Up adherence
≥ 90% days
Blocker Age (avg)
≤ 2 days
Inspection first-pass
≥ 90%
Carryover Top-3
≤ 1/week
CO approval cycle
≤ 3 days
Pulse trust score
↑ month over month

7) Pitfalls (កុំធ្វើ)

  • Trashing the previous leader publicly—kills trust.
  • Copying the old style even when it failed.
  • Changing everything at once—confuses execution.
  • Speaking values but not installing rituals.
Fix: Keep 3 good things, change 3 pain points, and anchor your new style in daily/weekly routines.
