The Leadership Coaching Blog

Whilst scanning an article on this legendary industrialist and business leader I noted the leadership principles on which he based his success.  These were:

1. Lead by example - never ask people to do something you wouldn’t do yourself
2. Trust and stand up for your people
3. Always admit when you make a mistake
4. Push credit down the line and blame up the line to lift self belief in the organisation
5. Integrity is more important than popularity
6. Be consistent and you will gain popularity
7. Manage change and keep people’s hearts and minds involved
8. Never fail to make a decision
9. Keep changing - change is risk, but the biggest risk is not to change at all

Not a bad list for all leaders to keep in mind!
