Leadership
1.       Leadership creates opportunities-They create opportunities and for people and then encourage them to apply their talents to grasp those opportunities. Leadership creates projects. Greats leaders create awesome quests.
2.       Leadership say I don’t know-the big trick is turning “I don’t know” into a show of strengthen, rather than an acknowledgment of weakness. Great leaders will say, “we are venturing into the unknown. I hired you for a reason and it wasn’t to follow orders… so figure something out…..and damn well don’t come home empty-handed.”
3.       Leaders are talent developers-Great talent developers are the bedrock of organizations that perform over the long haul.
4.       Leaders thrive in paradox… a wild oscillation between too much control and too little control is probably the secret to long-term effectiveness
5.       Leaders are visionary-A leaders is a dealer in hope. The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive
6.       Leaders love the mess- great leaders get most energized when shit hits the fan. In selecting leaders, we must be assiduously on the lookout for those who get their jollies in the face of madness… in the face of chaos that causes others to waffle or fold.
7.       Leaders are angry –great leaders are completely and perpetually pissed off by the failure of the sun to rise in the west and are determined to do something about it. Don’t ever promote ‘unangry’ people into leadership positions.
8.       Leaders are optimists-leaders show up. Leaders are there. They keep on keeping on. By their presence, they inspire others to stay the course.
9.       Leaders convey a grand design-call it core values. Call it Essential Philosophy. Call it core values. Call it our charter. Call it our constitution. I call it the Design Specs. The stuff we won’t comprise on.
10.   Leaders make mistakes and they make no bones about it. Screwing up is the essence of trying new stuff.
