The Revolutionary Leader

Most people do what most people do and get average results. Extraordinary people use very different means—often unconventional and contrarian—to achieve great success, and even change the world. The most extraordinary managers, leaders, and entrepreneurs are driven by a strong mission or purpose, beyond building a business and making money.

There is more to being a leader than longer hours and greater responsibility. Becoming a leader is a whole new role and demands new skill sets. Having people report to you means additional demands on your time. How can you delegate to create additional value for your organization? How can you develop the skill sets of a multiplier of talents? Your ability to communicate is also tested. How do you communicate with different personality styles? How can you express yourself clearly and inspire others?

Above all, you must choose and develop your mindset and role: whether to be a manager or a leader, a cog in the machine or an artist, lord of your fiefdom or nurturer of talent. To this end, we will share stories and draw lessons from role models such as Muhammad Yunus, Frank Lloyd Wright, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Elon Musk, Mother Teresa, and other revolutionary leaders.
