I am going through the book by Robert Slator, "29 Leadership Secrets from Jack Welch". Robert specifically makes the points such as Visionary Leadership, strengthening the processes to managing the changes across organisation, ignite a revolution, removing the boss element, focus on productivity for creating boundary-less organisation, developing next-gen leaders, initiating initiatives for driving & sustaining DOUBLE DIGIT growth.

10. Promote 3 S's - Speed, Simplicity and Self-confidence
