“Articulate a Vision. Formulate a clear and persuasive vision and communicate it repeatedly to all members of the enterprise. Think and Act Strategically. Set forth a pragmatic strategy for achieving that vision both short- and long-term, and ensure that it is widely understood; consider all the players, and anticipate their reactions and resistance before they are manifest. Honor the Room. Frequently express your confidence in and support for those who work with and for you. Take Charge and Lead Change. Embrace a bias for action, taking responsibility even if it is not fully or formally delegated, particularly if you are especially well positioned to make a difference.”
