Leadership

I always liked the McKinsey definition of strategy "a cohesive response to a challenge". Therefore leadership would be "ensuring a cohesive response to a challenge" i.e. making sure everyine was focussed int he same direction.

Got a selection of some of my favourite leadership quotes on the 'Insight' blog. Added some new ones only a couple of days ago. Just click on 'food for thought' section. How's that for a plug :-)

BTW new blog design is looking good so far.

Grahame,

*laughing* you win the award for the most relevant plug ever. Thanks for the quotes though, much appreciated.

Asking "who ought to be the boss" is like asking "who ought to be the tenor in the quartet?" Obviously, the man who can sing tenor.

There they go. I must run and catch up with them, because I am their leader!

The Leader

I wanna be the leader
I wanna be the leader
Can I be the leader?
Can I? I can?
Promise? Promise?
Yippee I’m the leader
I’m the leader
OK what shall we do?

If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

I'm OK with light on dark or vice versa but bring back the pictures.

Leadership
1) turning up
2) don't drop the sword
3) don't start a land war in Asia

I've appreciated following your blog - but I remember one quote about leadership

A leader is someone who has followers
don't know who said it though
