Termina otra durísima pero apasionante semana en Stanford y aquí dejo mi pequeña píldora de formación semanal, en este caso un par de cortes de un speech de Carly Fiorina (Former CEO de HP) que resume en 5 minutos algunos de los aplastantes conceptos que he aprendido hoy sobre liderazgo. Mis extractos del speech son:
Sabios consejos que ningún emprendedor y CEO debería olvidar nunca:
“The capability to ask a question and hear the answer”
“The only thing that works is creativity and new ideas and risk taking and innovation”
“Keep learning, learn something everyday” (en eso estamos…)
“The people who keep learning, who keep trying new things are vibrant.”
No olvidar la teoría de las especies de Darwin:
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent, but those most adaptive to change.”
Y en especial, lo que hace diferente a un líder de un gestor:
"Management is the production of acceptable results within known constraints and conditions, very important, but management is not leadership. Leadership is all about changing the order of things. Machiavelli said: “There is nothing so difficult or so dangerours as to undertrake to change the order of things.”. And that is true. It is difficult, and it sometimes dangerous, because people resist and people are afraid. And that is why only leaders can drive change."
