The World Business Forum Kicks Off Today
I'm attending the World Business Forum today in New York City and will be blogging throughout the day about the various speakers, including T Boone Pickens and George Lucas, have to say about leadership, innovation, and the economy.
Bill George, author of The 7 Lessons for Leading in Crisis, is currently speaking about the current economic crisis and how many leaders focs on short-termism. Here, he offers his "7 lessons."
1. Face reality, starting with yourself.
2. Don't be Atlas - get the world off your shoulders.
3. Dig deep for the root cause. People who focus on short term results have a negative system.
4. Get ready for the long haul. Are you prepared to deal with the long-term problems?
5 Never waste a good crisis. Crisis creates opportunities.
6. You're in the spotlight. Follow your True North. Your True North are your values. We need to own the problems today.
7. Go on the offense: Focus on winning now.
