Organization and plans by themselves rarely accomplish anything . Endeavors succeed or fail because of their people. Only by attracting the best people will you accomplish great deeds. In a brain-based economy, your best assets are your people. Too often, people are assumed to be tools, only to be used and discarded.
Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers .
They can cut through an argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand. Their visions and priorities are lean and compelling, not cluttered and buzzword-laden. Their decisions are crisp and clear, not tentative and ambiguous. They convey an unwavering firmness and consistency in their actions, aligned with the picture of the future they paint. Clarity of purpose, credibility of leadership, and integrity in the organization.
