The leadership hall of fame

Several leadership 'greats' have spoken exclusively to Mike Levy, our great profile writer. Have a look through our 'leadership hall of fame.'

 The world is driven by financial greed and economic dogma- one controls the earth's resources and the others are its apologists.   Henry Mintzberg: Practice, not best practice

 

 We need to win back in the country, and business is a very important part of doing that; creating jobs, creating a structure, creating trust in the system.   Karren Brady: Being the new Margaret 

 

 The knowledge worker age, which we’re in now, means that you create a culture where competency is spread everywhere, and where the people, even at the bottom, are involved significantly in discussing key business decisions.  In the Spotlight: Stephen Covey

 The big heresy of our times is that all you have to do is get the top level right. 

John Adair: The rise of the new leader

 One of the reasons why people make lousy leaders is that they don’t know who they are. 

Ken Blanchard: An exclusive interview with the One Minute Manager

 Don't position yourself as an NLP trainer or an expert in one area: position yourself in offering results. 

Naked simplicity: The David Taylor interview

 A learning organisation is one that is renewing itself on a daily basis. 

Spraying the message: The Garry Ridge interview

 Leadership should be seen as an honour – you have an astonishing responsibility to those in your care. 

Tom Peters: In search of leadership heroes
