circle: lead with meaning
TRANSCRIPT
The best leaders are winging it.
For innovators, cultivating specialised expertise in a field blinkers them to the possible opportunities outside of their field of knowledge.
As Peter Thiel, founder of Paypal and serial innovator, often says:
So if they’re not lead by their established expertise - what are they lead by?
Well, they’re certainly not experts.
“If you won an olympic medal in swimming, my bias would be that you should quit swimming that day.”
A work philosophy
Today’s most innovative leaders are driven by a work philosophy - a big idea rooted in classical insight into the human condition.
