As many of you know, Bev and I have been Jack Welch fans for years. He and Suzy Welch recently wrote a piece in Newsweek that deserves attention.
Ever since we published Creating Contagious Leadership, our stand has been that leadership is not nearly as complicated as some so-called “experts” would have us think. This article proves our point. If every executive, every leader, every supervisor practiced the following suggestions many, many businesses would not be in the sorry shape they are in today.
“…winning is about leading your people. And about leading them in four very specific ways.”
- FIRST, the leaders of winning teams always—always—let their people know where they stand.
- SECOND, winning teams know the game plan.
- THIRD, winning teams are honest.
- FOURTH, and finally, winning teams celebrate.
Pass this on to every leader on your team and every leader you know. They’ll thank you, as will the companies they work for.
Be Well & Be Contagious,
John
