How to Lead

Dear all, amid rising festive moods, COVID-19 seems to want to stick around us na ka. In any case, life goes on and I have some little thing to share ka.

I just got a book entitled, 'How to Lead' by David Rubenstein, who I follow watching his interviews on youtube ka. 

The book is an easy read and though many chapters are what I've watched already, I  enjoy digesting them again ka. 

David Rubenstein has come up with a few attributes he repeatedly hear from the people he interviewed, which are,"Luck, Desire to Succeed, Pursuit of Something New and Unique, Hard Work/Long Hours, Focus, Failure, Persistence, Persuasiveness, Humble Demeanor, Credit-Sharing, The Ability to Keep Learning, Integrity, and Responding to Crises."

In addition, I like the quotes David Rubenstein has selected so let me re-select a few I love most na ka.

Bill Gates: "I don't think it's important for me to be remembered specifically. I do hope that infectious disease is largely eliminated as a problem, so that nobody's having to talk about it and people can focus on other issues. That would be a huge, great thing."

Warren Buffett: "Look for the job that turns you on. Find a passion." 

I also like it when Jeff Bezos said about Warren Buffett who talked about himself that 'he's good if he makes 3 good decisions a year.'

Oprah Winfrey: "Your legacy is every life that you've touched.......it's how you use your life to be a light to somebody else's"

Indra Nooyi: "If you're willing to make all the trade-offs that you need to make, you can have it all." 

General Colin Powell: ".....give them (subordinates) every opportunity to be successful. Leadership is all about-- inspiring followers."

Condolezza Rice: ...what her father said to her, "If somebody doesn't want to sit next to you because you're black, that's fine, as long as they move." Don't be disabled by people who may have prejudice.

Antony Fauci: ''You don't dictate to people. But if you let them know what your vision is, hire the best people, and then don't get in their way, those are the qualities of a good leader."

Ginne Rometty (IBM): ".....one of the biggest traits I look for is curiosity."

Any of the statements you like most mai ka?

Have a very Merry Christmas ka.
