Ok, I substituted leaders for the word “Rockstar” because I like it better…
But this morning I was reading Chapter 13, pg. 163 of 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and was really intrigued by this statistic:
“According to Opinion Research Corporation of Ajilon Finance, American workers selected that one trait that was most important for a person to lead them:
- Leading by example 26%
- Strong ethics or morals 19%
- Knowledge of the business 17%
- Fairness 14%
- Overall intelligence and competence 13%
- Recognition of employee’s 10%”
The number one choice is leading by example… It’s fascinating to me that intelligence and competence are ranked 5th… I guess I find that as a relief…
Perhaps that is why this is a powerfull example
