Listen "55. Common Leadership Characteristics. Mentioning JD Vance, Simon Sinek, George Bernard Shaw"
Episode Synopsis
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” George Bernard Shaw
Leadership = 1. Vision for how to change the world + 2. Confidence + 3. Inspiring + 4. A source of challenge + 5.
Confidence = Not knowing you are right, but that you could be wrong, however you are ok with it.
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." Churchill.
Inspiring = Epic at what they do = Have built themselves to be the best.
To be a good leader one should be a pragmatist, not an ideologue. Ideologues who are good leaders often become cult leaders.
Effort = Crazy work ethic.
Leadership = 1. Vision for change + 2. Ability to actualize it
Manager = Helping organise to get things done
Worker = Doing what they are told.
