Just finished reading The Ride of a Lifetime by @RobertIger.
Incredible life and work advice from his perspective on @Disney distilled into 250+ pages.
Here's a thread of my top 10 takeaways:
1. Performance
It is a delicate matter to find the balance between demanding that your people perform at their best and not instilling in them the fear of failure.
We must instill in our people a fail fast and learn faster mentality.
2. Humility
At work and in life, you will earn the respect and trust of the people around you if you sincerely acknowledge your mistakes.
There's nothing bad in being wrong, but an error becomes a mistake unless you refuse to correct it.
3. Awareness
Be aware of what you don't know and trust what you do.
There is nothing that inspires less confidence than a person who pretends to know something they don't. True leadership and authority come from knowing who you are and not pretending to be someone you are not.
4. Leadership
We all like to believe that we are indispensable. You have to be realistic enough not to cling to the idea that you are the only person who can do the job.
Great leadership is not about being indispensable, but about helping others to be ready to take your place.
