Thanks for asking for 'em. There is no key to leadership, especially in these whacked-out times. The single best way I've found to be anything close to humble is to be humiliated. And the real bitch about all that, to me, is that in business, being humble doesn't seem to be one of those highly valued attributes. Thanks for letting me share some POVs.
Leaders Trust their people, their decisions, their intuition.
They never asked 'what is in it for me,' they never let the bad stuff get them down. They had a job to do and, damn it, they approached it with absolute enthusiasm and discipline. Tom, Thank you for your brilliant article on leadership qualities. It was incredibly timely for our small company in the architectural glass world. We have quadrupled our business in two and half years and are training all of our people to think and act as leaders.
