- Real leadership involves empathy.

- Learning what works for the people you're leading.

- Looking at the person and understanding the person in front of you and amending your behavior while being true to your values.

- And that would be a joint vision as to where you all want to go.

- Being very clear about what the outcome is but actually quite relaxed about the journey to get there.

- The ability to be an example.

- To inspire those around you. Instilling confidence.

- Enabling the conditions under which everyone that you're working with can thrive.

- And to generate an environment that people want to be part of.

- Leadership today means orchestration. Organizing talent around you.

- Knowing yourself well enough to know your own weaknesses and thereby being able to manage those weaknesses, recruit people to complement those weaknesses, and above all, seeing leadership as being first among equals.

- Creating a classless environment to work in.

- Working with them through others to achieve objectives. And the key word is the word others. For the great achiever, it's about me and for the great leader, it's about them.

- Leadership in the 21st century means that you cannot pick the winners on day one, which means you have to create the context in which the winners emerge.

- Understanding when to go slow and work out what needs to be carefully thought through and when you need to be set up to respond fast.

- There is necessarily a power relationship between the leader and others. But that power relationship should be used sparingly and appropriately. The rest of the time, the leader should see themselves as having a different role rather than being a different kind of person.
