cult-of-personality leader able
As far as I'm concerned, the first business leader who was able to establish a cult of personality around his tenure was Lee Iacocca.
leadership teamwork thinking
The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say 'I'. They don't think 'I'. They think 'we'; they think 'team'.
leader principles conning
Stop being conned by the old mantra that says, 'Leaders are cool, managers are dweebs.' Instead, follow the Peters Principle: Leaders are cool. Managers are cool too!
leadership educational unique
Customers perceive service in their own unique, idiosyncratic, emotional, irrational, end-of-the-day, and totally human terms. Perception is all there is!
rap decision leader
Leaders trust their guts. "Intuition" is one of those good words that has gotten a bad rap. For some reason, intuition has become a "soft" notion. Garbage! Intuition is the new physics. It's an Einsteinian, seven-sense, practical way to make tough decisions. Bottom line, circa 2001 to 2010: The crazier the times are, the more important it is for leaders to develop and to trust their intuition.
people leader president
The little people will get even, which is one of a thousand reasons why they are not little people at all. If you're a jerk as a leader, you will be torpedoed. And usually it won't be by your vice presidents; it will be on the loading dock at 3am when no supervisors are around.
leadership curiosity important
Winston Churchill said that appetite was the most important thing about education. Leadership guru Warren Bennis says he wants to be remembered as 'curious to the end.' David Ogilvy contends that the greatest ad copywriters are marked by an insatiable curiosity 'about every subject under the sun.'
leadership sorry team
Gandhi and Mandela and Churchill and JFK and Reagan and Thatcher and Sarkozy and Franklin and Washington set the tone to an incredible degree-their "personal style" was their "brand." ("It" starts with personal style of the tip-top leadership team. Sorry to be politically insensitive, but who would give a hoot about Tibet if it weren't for the look and style of the Dalai Lama?) Boss at any level: You're either on the "it" boat-or not.
ideas leader challenges
An ability to embrace new ideas, routinely challenge old ones, and live with paradox will be the effective leader's premier trait.
leader matter stuff
Leaders do stuff that matters.
selfish leader gains
The selfish leader will attempt to lead others for their own gain and for the detriment of others.
leadership enough customers
It's not enough to be close to the customer. You've got to be glued to the customer.
jobs leader done
If the person you delegated to does the job twice as well as you would have done it, consider yourself a leader.
inspirational leader ultimate-power
Leaders understand the ultimate power of relationships.
