From New York Times business day January 5, 2013 by Adam Bryant.
This article features G. J Hart CEO and Chairman of California Pizza Kitchen. He used to work at a poultry processing plant where he eventually became its GM at the age of 2l. He oversaw 500 people and there he learned leadership and how to deal with people. He evolved 6 leadership principles (that go along with courage)
l. Be the best you can be in order to lead;
2. Dream and dream big;
3. Lead with your heart; be real (Teflon not be)
4. Trust people you lead;
5. Do the right thing always
6. Serving the people you lead ; It is about servant leadership
Leadership means you take the first step and those people or team you are leading will follow without hesitations and doubts on you. In leading people trust and doing the right thing are important. This means that you must practice what you preached. Do what you say and and do it without pretension. Do it because you loved to do it. As a leader you should always look for the welfare of your team. Give them what are due to them and don't hold back. You may be the best sales man in the world but it will not also mean that you are a good leader.
