Being A Head

27 December 2009

Leader vs. Manager: change with the market and change your business model as necessary. It’s not just about alignment.

“A lot of those good leaders who came out of Sun understood and knew what I was trying to do when I picked an enemy, or when I picked a cause or when I put all the wood behind one arrowhead. It was about trying to align a bunch of really different people around a commonality of purpose. That’s what really great leaders do.” Scott McNealy, interview in Forbes magazine (McNealy: “Hire Great People and Delegate”)

Necessary but not sufficient. Be like Jack. Nimble. Quick.
