ENLIGHTENED LEADERS...
- Comprehend E = 1/K
- View Leadership as a role rather than a rank—believe that leading is serving
- Waste no time trying to lead by anything other than example
- Understand that truth and transparency assure Trust
- Have more questions than answers—know what they don’t know and freely admit it
- Recognize that none of us is as smart as all of us
- Take responsibility—but never credit
- Reject the status quo—seek Perpetual Improvement
- Know that doing the right thing is always the Right Thing—doing well comes from doing good
- Encourage creativity, but require Collaboration
- Empower rather than compel—Trust by default
- Acknowledge that creating value is prerequisite to realizing profit—take the long view
- Are purposeful—focused on Vision, Values, Mission
- Don’t need a reserved parking slot or corner office to be important
- Get that their success is no greater than the sum of the individual successes of those they lead
