The way I would measure leadership is this: of the people that are working with me, how many wake up in the morning thinking that the company is theirs?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The decisions you make affect a lot of people. You have investors, employees, and customers who all rely on you. Being a leader is a 24-hour-a-day job.
I think the main thing you measure your success by is what you do in comparison to your opposition. If you're in an industry where you're the leader, then you're performing very well.
If there is such a thing as good leadership, it is to give a good example. I have to do so for all the Ikea employees.
At the end the day because I believe so strongly in leadership, what I look for first, what I try to assess, is integrity.
Leadership is one of the things I really strive to excel in in my life.
Business leaders shape public opinion.
I have a staff of 12 people, so it's easy for them to handle all the management and the day to day at the company while I'm directing.
Measuring how hard your team is working by counting the number of hours they work or what time they get in and leave is how amateurs run companies.
People look for their leadership to lead.
I would assert that highly effective leaders are made more than they're born. Every leader I know who's been highly effective has worked hard at it, and they've been students of it. The more you're a student of leadership, the more you figure out what works for you and the more effective you're going to be.
