Leadership

Saw Carly Fiorina's talk on the Stanford website and it was a really good one. Carly explains the difference between management and leadership in very simple terms. Management basically involves simply producing satisfactory results under the given constraints and conditions. While leadership involves bringing change in the order of things. Leadership also involves three important things namely Capability, Collaboration and Character. Capability to ask questions and hear the answers.

Another important point to learn from her talk was that people who stop learning get jaded while people you keep learning are much more energetic. Also it is important to note that it's not the most powerful or most intelligent who survive but ones who adapt easily to the change in environment. Couldn't have agreed more with this.
