  • On becoming a leader

    3.5 out of 5 stars.  Written by Warren Bennis.

    1. You set the context. Refuse to be defined by others around you, current events / markets/ environments, or your own personal history.  Define and understand what is truly important.
    2. Ingredients of leadership:
      • Vision – a clear idea of what you want to do.
      • Passion – love what you do.
      • Integrity – understand yourself, be honest, be mature.
      • Curiosity and daring – try new things and don’t be afraid to fail.
    3. Accept responsibility – blame no one.
    4. Reflect on your experiences.
    5. Understand your personal history so that you can be master of your life not its servant.
