Teachings of great leaders worldwide.
1. Sunita Kaur, CEO, spotify Asia
Strategy is always a team decision. A clear strategy creates buy-in, makes the roles of people and their purposes extremely defined. Help people know where they are and where they need to go.
2. Ram Charan, Business Management Consultant
At least 4 times a year, leaders should ask themselves what new developments they could use to create a new need; or to give the user a more engaging experience.
3. Tony Faure, Managing Director of Funds, Yahoo! Australia
Clear thinking has always been at the heart of success. It may seem like a pretty obvious requirement, but many investors will tell you that it’s something entrepreneurs don’t have.
4. Kate Burleigh, CEO, Intel
To define a strategy, I spend 30% of my time researching, 40% talking to clients and the rest managing with my team.
5. Edward Freeman, Theorist
When it comes to the parties involved, it’s not about keeping a balance; it is about creating a process of continuous growth, of harmonizing, re-harmonizing and re-harmonizing again.
6. Angus Dawson, Corporate finance practice, McKinsey Asia
The stories that companies tell themselves about their past play a powerful role in shaping their future. Strategies are in fact beliefs, beliefs bring options, and options trigger initiatives.
7. Alan Osrin, Managing Director, Sage software Australia and handisoft software
All strategies must be designed to be successful and must work for a particular geographic area. You cannot apply strategies that work for everyone and expect them to work.
8.Andrew Harding
When we have some interesting changes or improvements to how the business is running, instead of using hierarchy or bureaucracy, we involve people from different areas. They are usually top performers at different levels of the business and we sit them around “something”.
9. Carmen Busquets
For me, the winning strategy for any startup is: Think big, but start small.
10. Roger McNamee, Partner at Elevator Partners
We need to stop thinking of infrastructure as an economic stimulant and start seeing it as a strategy. Economic stimulants produce bridges that amount to nothing. Strategic investment in infrastructure creates the foundation for long-term growth.
11. Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon
What we have to do is always lean towards the future. When the wind turns either for or against us, we have to lean into the future to figure out what to do; because complaining is not a strategy.
