    Why HATE a GENIUS LEADER with THOUSAND HELPERS?

    Daily writing prompt
    What public figure do you disagree with the most?
    View all responses

    There are acclaimed public figures who are geniuses with “yes men” around. I hate genius leaders with thousand helpers for the reasons mentioned below.

    Organizations led by a GENIUS leader with THOUSAND FOLLOWERS, decide on the “WHAT” questions without figuring out the SUCCESSION plan i.e. the “WHO” related questions.

    On the other hand, great organizations led by LEVEL 5 leaders, first get the RIGHT PEOPLE on the BUS before deciding on the answers to the STRATEGY related questions. Thus these organizations answer the “WHO” related questions before taking the “WHAT” related decisions.

    The SECRET SAUCE to LEVEL 5 LEADERSHIP

    Hence strive to a Level 5 leader not a genius leader with thousand helpers.

  • As a LEADER are you AFRAID to GIVE UP CONTROL to OTHERS?This is how Great Leaders deal with this..

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Jim Collins from the book Great by Choice

    “10Xers embrace a paradox of control and non-control. On the one hand, 10Xers understand that they face continuous uncertainty and that they cannot control, and cannot accurately predict, significant aspects of the world around them. On the other hand, 10Xers reject the idea that forces outside their control or chance events will determine their results; they accept full responsibility for their own fate. 10Xers then bring this idea to life by a triad of core behaviors: fanatic discipline, empirical creativity, and productive paranoia. Animating these three core behaviors is a central motivating force, Level 5 ambition.”

  • As a LEADER do you have an AUDACIOUS GOAL in sight?Learn how great companies approach such targets..

    “Fire Bullets then Cannonball” is an approach adopted by high performing 10X organizations to validate scale up options , as mentioned by Jim Collins in his book Great by Choice..

    A bullet is a low-cost, low-risk, and low-distraction experiment that helps to empirically validate what works (and what doesn’t). Based on the outcomes of that, 10X companies will then fire a cannonball, investing larger resources to enable disproportionate returns from concentrated bets.
