Can we please stop with the bland infographics telling leaders how to lead? Most of them just recycle the same old rubbish dressed up in meaningless beige.
If you want to learn something real, listen to the people actually doing it.
Yesterday’s Australian Financial Review quoted Kristian Fok, CEO of CBUS Super, a real CEO, who nailed it.
When asked what mistake CEOs make, he said:
“I think if CEOs believe they have to have all the answers, and they pretend they have all the answers, that’s a bad way of leading an organisation.”
And when asked how long meetings should go for, he said:
“I think any meeting that’s longer than 45 mins means there’s too much to digest and I’d say you should break the problem up so that you can be effective.”
Now that’s leadership worth paying attention to, no glossy slides, no buzzwords, just sense and substance.
