“Leaders are people who

leave their footprints in

their areas of passion”

50 – 70 percent of

employees perception of

the organisation’s climate

can be traced to the leader.

The boss creates the

conditions that directly

determines people ability to

work well.

Great leaders move us.

They ignite our passion and

inspire the best in us.

1. Being responsible sometime means pissing people off.

2. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped

leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either

case is a failure of leadership.

3. Don’t be buffaloed by experts and elites. Experts often possess more data

than judgment. Elites can become so inbred that they produce hemophiliacs who bleed to death as soon as they are

nicked by the real world.

4. Don’t be afraid to challenge the pros, even in their own backyard.

5. Never neglect details. When everyone’s mind is dulled or distracted

the leader must be doubly vigilant.

6. You don’t know what you can get away with until you try.

7. Keep looking below surface appearances. Don’t shrink from doing so

(just) because you might not like what you find.

8. Organization doesn’t really accomplish anything. Plans don’t accomplish

anything either. Theories of management don’t much matter. Endeavours succeed

or fail because of the people involved. Only by attracting the best people will

you accomplish great deeds.

9. Organizations charts and hence title count for next to nothing.

10. Never let your ego get so close to your position that when your position

goes, your ego goes whit it.

11. Fit no stereotypes. Don’t chase the latest management fads. The situation

dictates which approach best accomplishes the team’s mission.

12. Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.

13. Powell’s Rules for Picking People –Look for intelligence and judgment and,

most critically, a capacity to anticipate, to see around corners. Also look for loyalty, integrity, a high energy drive, a balanced

ego and the drive to get things done.

14. Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through

argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand.

15. Part I : Use formula P = 40 to 70, in which P stands for the probability of

success and the numbers indicate the percentage of information acquired.

Part II: Once the information is in the 40 to 70 range, go with your gut.

16. The commander in the field is always right and the rear echelon is wrong ,

unless proved otherwise.

17. Have fun in your command. Don’t always run at a breakneck pace. Take

leave you’re earned it. Spend time with your families.

Corollary : Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and

play hard.

18. Command is lonely.

case is a failure of leadership.

3. Don’t be buffaloed by experts and elites. Experts often possess more data

than judgment. Elites can become so inbred that they produce hemophiliacs who bleed to death as soon as they are

nicked by the real world.

4. Don’t be afraid to challenge the pros, even in their own backyard.

5. Never neglect details. When everyone’s mind is dulled or distracted

the leader must be doubly vigilant.

6. You don’t know what you can get away with until you try.

7. Keep looking below surface appearances. Don’t shrink from doing so

(just) because you might not like what you find.

8. Organization doesn’t really accomplish anything. Plans don’t accomplish

anything either. Theories of management don’t much matter. Endeavours succeed

or fail because of the people involved. Only by attracting the best people will

you accomplish great deeds.

9. Organizations charts and hence title count for next to nothing.

10. Never let your ego get so close to your position that when your position

goes, your ego goes whit it.

11. Fit no stereotypes. Don’t chase the latest management fads. The situation

dictates which approach best accomplishes the team’s mission.

12. Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.

13. Powell’s Rules for Picking People –Look for intelligence and judgment and,

most critically, a capacity to anticipate, to see around corners. Also look for loyalty, integrity, a high energy drive, a balanced

ego and the drive to get things done.

14. Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through

argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand.

15. Part I : Use formula P = 40 to 70, in which P stands for the probability of

success and the numbers indicate the percentage of information acquired.

Part II: Once the information is in the 40 to 70 range, go with your gut.

16. The commander in the field is always right and the rear echelon is wrong ,

unless proved otherwise.

17. Have fun in your command. Don’t always run at a breakneck pace. Take

leave you’re earned it. Spend time with your families.

Corollary : Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and

play hard.

18. Command is lonely.
