Here I attempt to look at 13 leadership principles through self-improvement lenses.
1. Customer Obsession
Who should you work hard to earn and keep their trust? Whoever those are, you should listen to them, be there for them.
Do not take your family and close friends for granted. Just because they are loyal, it doesn’t mean you should not obsess about them, listen to them, think about their needs before they ask.
2. Ownership
3. Invent and Simplify
Always find ways to improve and simplify.
4. Are Right, A Lot
5. Learn and Be Curious
Be curious and open to exploring new things.
6. Hire and Develop the Best
7. Insist on the Highest Standards
Keep raising the bar. Don’t settle for “average.”
Read The 10X Rule.
8. Think Big
“If you can dream it, you can achieve it.” — Zig Ziglar
9. Bias for Action
Speed matters not only in business but in life. Stop thinking. Just do.
Read Skip The Line. Do 10,000 experiments.
Just Do It.
10. Frugality
11. Earn Trust
12. Dive Deep
13. Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit
Challenge status-quo, zig when others zag.
