16. Recommendation #1: It’s the people... The knowledge is in the field Leadership without disciples makes change impossible Believe in people and they will believe in you... Allow people around you, particularly those who work for you, to soar Support your people in what they want to do, because that is what they will do best “Never doubt the capacity of the people you lead to accomplish whatever you dream for them.”—Ben ZanderConductor, The Boston Philharmonic

19. Recommendation #4: Have a point of view about things... Have a set of beliefs about how the "world" should work Bring a fervor to those beliefs - and feel comfortable pursuing them in an open, transparent way Emancipate people from the paternalistic controls - Father Knows Best - mode Understand yourself - be authentic To me, searching for perfection isn’t anywhere near as interesting as trying to find your own voice. - Charlie Trotter, Chef

20.

21. Recommendation #6: Listen and learn... Listening…the critical skill Always be a learner, always be a teacher Set standards in the way you do your work Bring unassailable principles and discipline to your work Never tolerate mediocrity Your reputation (always) precedes you… We don’t receive wisdom. We must discover it for ourselves after a journey no one can take for us or spare us, for it is a point of view about things.—ProustRemembrance of Things Past

22. Recommendation #7: Resources are everywhere.... Be ecological—there are plenty of resources around you where ever you happen to be that will help you accomplish almost anything Draw on your environment, learn how to align resources The virtual world does not tolerate command and control models.

23. Recommendation #8:Embrace—but measure—change... Change—and change frequently. The more success you have in making change work, the more comfortable you are taking it on You can morph your career many times by embracing change Shore up your change management toolbox with the right skills.

One must, from time to time, pursue things that are beyond one’s capacity. —Renoir
