By the way, Jack Welch is considered by many to be the pre-eminent CEO of the 20th century. I know many are scared of the new skills required of leaders. Touchy-feely is often a code word for something that is not real. I am not interested in hugging everyone because it is politically correct, playing silly games instead of doing real work, or taking on the rituals, trappings, and philosophies of bygone eras and vastly different cultures. Our passion for one another should come from the work we do together, not from some artificial means.
Great teams have great relationships because people are doing great work together.
New leaders evolve to a deeper and broader awareness, finely honed intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, a strong character woven throughout a lifetime of learning and experience, a greater maturity and judgment, and an ecological view of the world. The leadership skills for the times in which we live are vastly different than the skills required for the times in which we used to live. The capabilities called for are of a higher order than in the past.
