Becoming An Effective Leader

‘The good news is that we don’t have to be prefect to be a leader.’

‘Leadership is about taking people where they would not have gone by themselves.’

‘The best leaders focus on just three priorities: Idea, People, Action.’

‘You cannot succeed by trying to become someone else.’

‘If you want to lead, you have to make a difference.’

‘Your future perfect idea must be simple enough that it can be interpreted and made relevant.’

‘You need to create a team and a network of people who have faith in your story.‘

‘You do not really know your own idea until you know how other people will judge it.’

‘As a leader you need to know where you add value to your team, where you make a difference.’

‘You can teach skills but you cannot teach values.’

‘Can you learn to be a leader?’
