The difference between the two aforementioned examples is that great leaders have mastered the art of finding the right message regardless of the medium, market, or constituency being addressed. Sadly, the reality is messaging is so impactful that it will often times have a greater impact on your career than your performance.

A great example of this would be carving out time in your already too busy schedule to mentor someone in your organization with great potential.

A specific example of this would be that while a company’s business plan may not change for a number of years, the company’s business model consistently evolve, or may even need to be reengineered to insure the execution of its business plan. if you cannot define your business model, then you likely don’t have one.

It was a pain by then but during the rest of my career that mentality has stuck with me and I found that its always easier comming up with the simple solution in the first place rather than dealing with complex workflows until you have had enough and go back to simplify it.

In this example the hourly rate of a CEO who makes $750k is $375 dollars per hour. For instance, rather than leveraging down to the $100K talent in the example above, if you drive down further to let’s say a $30k individual, you increase your organizational leverage factor by almost another 30%.

As a CEO you have the ability to influence positive changes, and to make contributions well beyond those who have not been afforded the same opportunities, and it would be nothing short of tragic for you not to clearly understand this. Significance on the other hand is driven by personal values and is a gift that cannot be purchased.

A brand is defined by how OTHERS perceive you/your company (yeah that's what it really is, not what you as brand creator think it is) and design goes a long way to influence perception. You bring up Apple, a shining example (no pun intended) of design being part and parcel of brand. I Think Not.

If Albert is right about that, then leading by example, although a simple enough concept carries with it a pretty big impact.
