Rarely will you come across a static opportunity in the sense that it will stand idle and wait for you to act…Significant opportunities are not only scarce, but they typically operate on the principal of diminishing returns. I think I have understood the power of good timing, but have not used it enough strategically.

The harsh reality is that great numbers of leaders continue to operate in a vacuum by sequestering themselves away in the corner office and attempting to lead from afar.

Innate, raw intelligence while certainly something to be prized, is much more common and much less powerful than real influence. In fact, your influence quotient will be a much greater determinant of your ultimate success than your “Intelligence Quotient” could ever be.

In my opinion the practice of leadership identification is simply based upon flawed business logic, and it is make-work in the purest form. I’m a huge advocate of refining initiatives that allow any level of talent to be developed to the maximum potential.
