‘All great leaders are initially laughed at’


The old model of leaderhip is obsolete. Now for an organisation to truly excel in these times of deep change everyone — at every level — must show leadership and do their best work. Commit to excellence. Become massively innovative and wear your passion on your sleeve. They might call you different or weird or even crazy. But please remember, every great leader was initially laughed at. Now they are revered. Either you set your goals and, in doing so, have your life governed by choice or you do nothing and have your life governed by chance. Each day, life will send you little windows of opportunity. Your destiny will ultimately be defined by how you respond to these windows of opportunity. Shrink from them and your life will be small, feel the fear and run to them anyway, and you life will be big. Life’s just too short to play little. The ultimate competitive advantage of your enterprise comes down to a single imperative — your ability to grow and develop leaders as fast as competition.
