Great leaders are great learners. You can learn leadership. But the best way to do it is to learn by leading.
‘When things go poorly, take full ownership and mine the mistakes for learnings.’
‘Look back. Learn from your past decisions.’
‘Define your intent. Align your aspirational intent (your most important big-picture goals) with your transactional intent (your goal for any one interaction).
‘Operate with personal consistency.’
‘The language of leadership has to do with actions, not words; signals, not demands. Success is no longer your success. It’s your team’s.’
‘Build critical mass of relationships with key people rather than spreading yourself too thin.’
‘Rock the boat- for the sake of business results.’
‘Overinvest in figuring out what you walked into. What you don’t know will kill you.’
‘Own your calendar and the incoming requests for your time- don’t let them own you.’
‘Get used to life in the permanent spotlight. Smile! It’s good business.’
‘Use small gestures to connect with your team.’
