Lessons for Leaders of the Future

One of my most respected political commentators is Dave Gergen.  According to Gergen, there are seven key lessons for the leaders of the future:


"What they must have are:

1. Inner mastery
2. A central, compelling purpose rooted in moral values
3. A capacity to persuade
4. Skills in working within the system
5. A fast start
6. A strong, effective team, and
7. A passion that inspires others to keep the flame alive."

~ David Gergen, Eyewitness to Power

Indeed.

I invite you to critically think about each of the seven lessons.......reflect on how they apply to your environment and leadership.
