Successful Leadership Skills

Peter Druker On Leadership:

What Needs to Be Done. Successful leaders don’t start out asking,
“What do I want to do?” They ask, “What needs to be done?”
Then they ask, “Of those things that would make a difference,
which are right for me?” They don’t tackle things they
aren’t good at. They make sure other necessities get done,
but not by them. Successful leaders make sure that
they succeed!

They are not afraid of strength in others. Andrew Carnegie
wanted to put on his gravestone, “Here lies a man who knew
how to put into his service more able men than he was himself.”

Check Your Performance. Effective leaders check their performance.
They write down, “What do I hope to achieve if I take on this assignment?”
They put away their goals for six months and then come back and check their performance against goals. This way, they find out what they do well and
what they do poorly.

They also find out whether they picked the truly important things to do.
I’ve seen a great many people who are exceedingly good at execution, but
exceedingly poor at picking the important things.

They are magnificent at getting the unimportant things done.
They have an impressive record of achievement on trivial
matters.
