Notes on: Wisdom for a Young CEO
- Only by being conscious of employees’ needs and challenges, and serving them, will the leader in turn earn their people’s respect.
- It’s clear that it is the average workers and not the higher-up executives that make an organization prosper or fail.
- Leaders do not need to be visionaries – those who can see into and predict the future. But they do have to have [and communicate] a vision – a plan for the future prosperity and ultimate destiny of their company.
- Envy is ignorance; immitation is suicide
- The people you lead want to know where they are going. You need to communicate a vision that is clear, compelling, credible, challenging, and worth the effort.
- A leader’s job is to clarify and simplify so that everyone understands what’s truly important.
- Leaders work for their employees, not the other way around …. Ensure that they remain happy, inspired, and productive.
