6 Leadership Practices


« Find out what it is you are about, and be that » (Bennis, 1989)

Being a person of vision and leading the organization into its desired future

Face problem #1 « I’m the problem » - Be the student of your doubts and fears. Descend into the parts of yourself that don’t embody vision

Engage in authentic, courageous conversation. Tell the truth.

Balance reason with intuition. To lead effectively, access all kind of information available.

Think systematically. Design systems and structure for high performance
