They are externally aware, look for new ideas from everywhere, and are not limited by “not invented here.” As we do new things, we accept that we may be misunderstood for long periods of time.
• Think big: Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Leaders create and communicate a bold direction that inspires results.
• Be right, a lot: Leaders are right a lot. They have strong judgment and good instincts. They seek diverse perspectives and work to disconfirm their beliefs.
