My business leadership
I don’t mind being the business leader wherever I am at the time. Its normally better than reporting to someone because there are so few really great leaders.
However I have three weaknesses as a business leader:
1. I get bored with any business after a while and then distracted by other butterflies
2. I struggle to get consumed by a business. Basically as I have gotten older I care less and less about money and power. Hence I can’t generate the madness required to conquer and rule
3. I can be very good as a leader of people but again I don’t always practice these skills due to a form of laziness. In these cases I default to leadership-lite. This works-ish
On the flip side I have good strategy skills, I hire great people when I can afford them and I give them space, I am good with stakeholder management, I never shirk reality, I never get scared, nor do I panic and I know what I don’t know.
