Notes to Myself 3 - Leadership Principles

 Leadership tenets

  • The leader is wholly responsible for the team’s performance (All blame is taken by the leader, all praise goes to the team)
  • Leaders completely believe in the team (if there is no belief then there is no point having that team)




  • The leader’s only job is to get the best out of each member so the team achieves its goals
  • Leaders know member’s strengths in and out and uses them accordingly
  • Good leaders realize that there are no special category members (No stars), they empower fringe players which makes a huge difference to the final score
  • Invest belief in all
  • They give each member the space to approach, to get a fair hearing, to be heard, to feel supported
  • The key is to realize that everyone loves to excel, they must be given the space and environment to do that (a good visual is that they must flow into their tasks as smoothly as water flows into a lake, not like a person climbing a hill)
  • Good leaders go by the member’s potential, they do not judge them based on their achievements
  • They listen
