My Weekly Reminder

Author, Jim Collins, conducted research on leaders who were able to take their respective companies from being “good” to being “great.”  In doing so, he was able to identify some of the characteristics these leaders had in common.  The one thing that really stood out was these great leaders possessed extreme personal humility.  Even though they were running the company, they were not arrogant, condescending or otherwise taken with themselves.  As a result, they gave away all the credit to others when things went well and they absorbed all the blame when things went poorly.  So, the next time you’re tempted blame someone else when things don’t go well, keep in mind: it’s not what great leaders do.

Our Iceberg is Melting by John Kotter

This is the finest book I’ve ever read on how to proactivley manage change.
