Level 5 leadership

“We have tons of level 5 around us, our problem is not an absence of level 5 in our societies, our problem is the absence of wisdom to put them in a position of responsibility and power!”

First “who” then "what"

“The direction of the bus is not really important. If we get the right people on the bus, the right people on the right seat and the wrong people off the bus, we’ll eventually figure out how to drive it to a great place! If you begin with “who” rather than “what”, you can easily adapt to a changing world! If you have the right people on the bus, the problem to motivate and manage people largely goes away!"

“There is no such thing as an incentive system, there is no such thing as a motivational compensation system, there is instead attraction and retention systems, to keep the self-motivated and self-disciplined people that will produce results because it is who they are!"

“Put your best people on your biggest opportunities, not your biggest problems!”

Technology accelerators

"When used right, technology is a curator of momentum not a creator of momentum! You can not make good use of technology until you know which technology is relevant!"

"Business schools are bombarding people with the importance of technology that is completely wrong!"
