284. Effective Leadership Is Not A Birthright

Reflections on Leadership

In 1920, Lincoln C. Andrews published "Manpower" – a loose field guide created to quickly train many inexperienced men for leadership roles after World War I. The book contained dozens of forthright leadership principles, many of which I believe could serve this century's new and existing leaders equally well, regardless of gender.

We again find ourselves shook by a pandemic, threats to democracy, and a renewed urgency to quickly train a significant number of people for new and ongoing leadership roles. Not to put us on a war footing, though future battles are likely, but to remind us of the central tenets and benefits of good and effective leadership, particularly in defense of democracy, and literally, saving the world.

Five Central Tenets:

1. Stay creative.
2. Have ingenuity in helping others become more efficient.
3. Build a stronger character.
4. Have a higher purpose.
5. Improve our democratic institutions.
