A Higher Purpose
Description
Leading people involves following rules. The problem is that the focus on priorities of shareholders, the inertia of the markets, and many companies' management has confused the rules. But we have already seen that shareholders are not the only stakeholder. This book presents a higher purpose through three rules. These rules, in turn, make up a conscious leadership:
1.Enhance the power in others
2.Enhance the power in yourself
3.Enhance the value among all stakeholders
The first rule is about others. Leading other people is about making them better. Period. Make them do their jobs better and, in turn, make the organization better. So easy to understand, yet so challenging to execute. Because for this to happen we not only have to have suitable employees, but we also have to have appropriate bosses at all levels. We must provide people with adequate leadership. And the setback is that most bosses are mediocre.
