Leadership Skills Jack Welch, respected business leader and writer is quoted as proposing these fundamental leadership principles (notably these principles are expanded in his 2001 book Jack: Straight From The Gut): 1.There is only one way - the straight way. It sets the tone of the organisation. 2.Be open to the best of what everyone, everywhere, has to offer; transfer learning across your organisation. 3.Get the right people in the right jobs - it is more important than developing a strategy. 4.An informal atmosphere is a competitive advantage. 5.Make sure everybody counts and everybody knows they count. 6.Legitimate self-confidence is a winner - the true test of self-confidence is the courage to be open. 7.Business has to be fun - celebrations energise and organisation. 8.Never underestimate the other guy. 9.Understand where real value is added and put your best people there. 10.Know when to meddle and when to let go - this is pure instinct. As a leader, your main priority is to get the job done, whatever the job is. Leaders make things happen by: knowing your objectives and having a plan how to achieve them building a team committed to achieving the objectives helping each team member to give their best efforts As a leader you must know yourself. Know your own strengths and weaknesses, so that you can build the best team around you.
