#Leadership

You can cut back on a lot of things as a leader, but the last thing you can ever skimp on is marketing.  Your product needs a champion.  As Peter Drucker put it: "Each project needs somebody who says, 'I am going to make this succeed,' and then goes to work on it."

#LeadershipDevelopment

The need for leadership development has never been more urgent.  Companies of all sorts realize that to survive in today's volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment, they need leadership skills and organizational capabilities different from those that helped them succeed in the past.

Empowerment in its most simple form is sharing decision-making authority with others.

Urgent vs. Important

Urgent and important are not the same.  Set your priorities.  Think big picture.  Then trust the people beneath you to do the jobs they were hired to do.
