THE THREE PRINCIPLES OF INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP (PART I)

Abstract from Bocconi University

The first principle that we can identify is that

 there's no standard formula.

There's no standard recipe for leadership.

All leaders basically develop their own style

When we say that leaders develop their own unique style

that doesn't mean that they're not facing similar challenges.

They all, to some degree, have to motivate others : 

 they have to develop talent,

they have to align people,

they make decisions in some cases,

but they do that with responses that have to be developed,

that work for them, that over time become uniquely their own,

that become habits in a way.

Those responses also are often effective,

not in isolation, but because of the other things that they do as well.

For example, Steve Jobs might not have been

the pinnacle of emotional intelligence, but he did a lot of other

things that counterbalance that, that made him an effective leader.
