Through ExecuNet, I recently had the opportunity to speak with Bill George, a former CEO of Medtronic, now a professor at Harvard Business School and author of True North, Finding Your True North and Authentic Leadership. Bill’s perspectives on Leadership support the servant-leader model and his work has been referenced as an example of measurable success through servant leadership. As a result, I was excited to hear Mr. George speak and ask his views on technology’s impact on future leaders.
In the beginning of the call, Mr. George defined his views on authentic leadership. Bill stated that we need 4 things from leaders:
- Alignment
- Empowerment
- Service
- Collaboration » Read more: The Future of Leadership (from a conversation with Bill George)
