Three essential qualities a leader should possess.
EQ - Emotional Quotient
IQ - Intelligence Quotient
DQ - Decency Quotient
It's inexcusable to put people in powerful positions that lack these three traits.
On Invest Like The Best with Tren Griffin podcast, something I took away was the best leaders are doers. Consultants haven't made the best CEOs because they think more than do. Thinkers are extremely valuable it's just that doers are usually bold and are willing to make mistakes which often leads to extraordinary ideas. We also don't see a lot of numbers oriented people CREATE companies. Founders are artistic and creative rather than by the book.
Thoughts on leadership, the best leaders don't just have an open-door policy. They reach out and want to hear from anyone, everyone. The author of Culture Code made this apparent on The Investors Podcast. I look forward to giving it a read.
