This book was a gift to me from Karl Haden. Each of us has an opportunity and perhaps a responsibility to be a leader. I will read and comment in this blog - so that I learn more effectively how to be a leader - and perhaps to inspire others to lead.
Knowledge - by itself is not wisdom - "yet wisdom cannot exist without knowledge"
acknowledge your ignorance
human nature
experience
common sense
self-knowledge - reflection and introspection
Common Sense, Conventional Wisdom, and Collective Wisdom
Decision-Making - "Executive and decision-making are practically synonymous"
I agree - and since all of us make decisions - then all of us are practically executives!
"Leaders are judged primarily by their decisions"
"Leaders have a moral decision to make the best possible decisions for the people they lead"
"Leaders often are held responsible not only for their own decisions but for those of their subordinates" (a person under the authority or control of another within an organization)
"Good judgment"
Mentoring - "Wise leaders will expose themselves as much as possible to the best thinking and writing, not just in their own field but in multiple fields."
