13 Habits of Extraordinary Bosses
Extraordinary bosses use these habits to bring out the extraordinary in those around them.
Probably my favorite business book is Sylvia Lafair's Don't Bring It To Work: Breaking the Family Patterns that Limit Success. In that book, Sylvia describes how people can transcend the limitations of their family background to become better workers.
In the process of describing that transformation, Lafair describes a set of habits that define how ideal leaders behave when they've got their beliefs aligned the right way. Here they are:
1. They collaborate rather than grandstand.
2. They build communities rather than platoons.
3. They create new realities.
4. They laugh at problems (and themselves).
5. They help others visualize a better future.
6. They avidly explore new ideas.
7. They mentor and coach.
8. They use stories to inspire.
9. They integrate pieces into wholeness.
10. They tell the truth, even when inconvenient.
11. They act before they have ALL the answers.
12. They create a climate of trust.
13. They make peace between factions.
