Listening To The Inner Voice - Trusting

Leaders Wonder About Everything, Want To Learn As Much As They Can, Are Willing To Take Risks, Experiment, Try New Things. They Do Not Worry About Failure But Embrace Errors, Knowing They Will Learn From Them.

What Makes A Good Follower? The Single Most Important Characteristic May Well Be A Willingness To Tell The Truth. In A World Of Growing Complexity Leaders Are Increasingly Dependent On Their Subordinates For Good Information, Whether The Leaders Want To Hear It Or Not. Followers Who Tell The Truth And Leaders Who Listen To It Are An Unbeatable Combination.

People In Great Groups Have Blinders On. Their Work Is All They See. They Value Failures As Learning Opportunities. They Are Optimistic, Not Realistic, As They Proceed From One Challenge And Crisis To The Next.

Ineffective Leaders Often Act On The Advice And Counsel Of The Last Person They Talked To.

The Manager Asks How And When; The Leader Asks What And Why.
