I like this article, although I think that some people have a higher tendency to be a leader. Based on personal experience these are the types of people that grew up being able to manage their peers. This transcends into the workplace. These types of people still will need the same sort of education as described in this article, it just may come more naturally to them. Regardless, I think that being a good manager/CEO is a skill that can be acquired much like any other skill with studying and practice.
- skyebook 14y agoI think that regardless of tendencies, some of the most inspiring and successful people (on any path in life) have been those who are authentic and comfortable with themselves. That said, the world seems to have a real deficit of sincere and authentic leaders.
- 001sky 14y agoThere is an element of 'Become great, and then just do what comes naturally' here, though. Its both insightful and somewhat problematic, in the sense that inauthenticity is a red-flag, but authentic != good, so the converse is not true (not-inauthentic is not 'good', per-se). TLDR: you need authentic (+) goodness, together.
- josephstalin 14y agoIn my opinion, comrade, there are some "great" leaders who neither good nor authentic.
