Re: What Makes A Good Leader?

Since many have already made excellent and relevant comments, I won't bore with an entire page's worth of what's already been said! However I would like to say just this that I actually heard in a movie: sometimes you have to have served in order to lead. Going off on this, a great leader should be elected because of their experience by those who have experience as well. Our team holds interviews for lead positions (we have to Co-CEOs each year as well as VPs for each subgroup) which are held by the previous year's Co-CEOs for the new Co-CEOs, then the new Co-CEOs (after they are selected) replace the old ones for the new VP interviews, as well as a consistent panel of the same 5-7 mentors for all interviews. This has worked for our team from the beginning, so just thought I'd throw that in there!

Thanks!

-Gen
