Lead by Example
To spark others to perform, you
must lead by example. Jack Welch mastery of
the four E's
of leadership –
Energy,
Energize, Edge, and
Execution – was always in evidence. "He had great energy, sparked
others, had incredible
competitive spirit, and had a record of execution
that was second to none. This is a key of the Welch phenomenon. Had he
been lacking in any of the traits he espoused, he would not have
commanded such acclaim." |

Involve everyone
Involve everyone and welcome
great ideas from everywhere. Anyone can be a
leader,
just so long as they contribute, and the most meaningful way for anyone
to contribute is to come up with a good
idea.
Business is all about getting the best ideas from everyone. New ideas
are the lifeblood of the organization, the fuel that makes it run.
"The hero is the person with a new idea." There is simply nothing more
important to an organization than expressing ideas and creating a
vision. |
