Top 15 leadership strategies
Posted in: Business
It is a compilation of experiences from different CEOs. While each CEO clearly stated their top strategy with an explanation of how that was used, the following is a summary as shared in the book.
I felt it is appropriate to share this on this blog.
- Have a clear vision, a specific direction, and a goal for your organization
- Focus on the two or three things most important to your vision and goals. Don't spread the attention too thin
- Communicate your vision, strategy, goals and mission to everyone involved - senior management, employees, suppliers, vendors, customers, stakeholders, and other stakeholders
- Listen to what others tell you. Be willing to accept and act upon criticism and suggestions.
- Surround yourself with the right people, a strong team.
- Treat your employees exceedingly well. Help them become successful in their careers and their lives
- Apply the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you
- Be in a business you love and are passionate about
- Constantly innovate to gain and sustain competitive advantage and serve your customers better
- Plan everything. Leave nothing to chance
- Be a leader and actually lead. Take responsibility. Make tough decisions.
- Lead by example. Don't expect your people to do what you won't or don't do yourself
- Listen to the people who are closest to the customers and the marketplace. They will give you your best advice and input
- Set performance goals and establish metrics by which you can measure your performance and results
- Be service-oriented. How can you make the lives of your employees and customers better, easier, and more rewarding?
