People that matters
Monday, May 31, 2010
I just finished reading a book 'Leadership that matters', based on a hundred years' leadership research, written by Marshall Sashkin, a professor from GWU. Thought I wld crudely rephrase/adapt it for what it wld mean to become better persons. So, here goes.
1) Thou shalt capably manage all your resources (financial or otherwise) prudently and wisely, and not spend exceedingly and/or excessively;
2) Thou shalt give due recognition to people for deliverance (pun unintended) of promises;
3) Thou shalt communicate concisely and clearly, with focused mental attention;
4) Thou shalt value reliability, commitment-keeping, consistency, and trust;
5) Thou shalt have respect and concern for others, and value people's differences;
6) Thou shalt take calculated risks and create opportunities for others;
7) Thou shalt be self-assured and self-confident (steering clear of pride), and instill confidence in others;
8) Thou shalt share power and enable others to act;
9) Thou shalt simplify complexity, and sustain group achievement of long-term goals through shared values and beliefs;
10) Thou shalt encourage others to act, according to shared values and beliefs that we share.
