My success in driving performance is based on the following principles:Strategy should be simple and consistently communicated. Having said that, the underlying assumptions upon which the strategy is based should be challenged regularly.To get the most from one’s team, one has to lead them with the intent of leveraging their strengths. To do that one needs to look at leadership as a form of service to one\'s team.In any situation one can apply either leadership skills or management skills, not both. The art is in knowing which skill set to apply.
