10 Commandments for a Leader


  • Motivation does not work, a leader should create a desire for purposeful action taking.

  • superficiality is common in all organizations don't encourage it in your organizations.

  • Avoid hasty promises.

  • Leaders make commitments more difficult instead of trying to make quick buy-ins.

  • Leaders force people to consider conflicts, doubts, anxiety and ambivalence.

  • Leaders must discuss the difficulties rather than painting the rosy picture of necessary task.

  • Leader makes conscious effort to prevent sycophancy and allow constructive criticism.

  • Leaders must identify and prohibit artificial behaviour, talks and most importantly artificial and hence superficial meetings.

  • Reward excellent failures and punish mediocre success.

  • The only Strategy is "Doing Things".

  1. Lovely points to be remembered sir..:)

    But i slightly disagree with the following statement:
    "Reward excellent failures and punish mediocre success" - I think rewarding failures is risky as there could be a possibility that the EEs may take advantage of the same...

    & Success - be it small or big should be rewarded. Because mediocre will lead to average to above average & so on...
