Dr Richard Peddie Leadership 201
The Difference between good work and excellent work is hard work.
Don’t worry about someone being more talented – worry about someone working harder.
A CEO hires strangers and fires friends.
Remember names – it’s a high honour to the person. People feel recognized and important.
I wanted our employees to know everything that was going on in the company and the rationale for all our initiatives.
The customer is always right – but sometimes you have to fire the customer.
The one who wins the race is often the one who wanted it the most – who trained harder – who wasn’t satisfied with a personal best time or even a second-place finish.
I worked hard to be authentic.
I realized I could bring a positive emotional energy to meetings.
I had to articulate the right set of corporate and personal values.
I had to continuously reflect on those values to make sure they were appropriate to achieving the desired goal of winning.
I had to embody the values in my own behaviour – all the time.
All people have untapped leadership potential and can hone leadership skills if they are prepared to work at it.
It takes trial and error and time – it’s a learning process…there is no recipe, no list of traits to be checked off.
For most of my career, I was student of leadership, knowing what I knew paled in comparison to what I needed to learn.
Thanks Dr Peddie
