Recently I had a meeting with a gentleman named Mike Komara. He is the Founder of Wisdom Works, LLC. Mike helps leaders grow strong businesses. In our meeting, he paraphrased something I found extremely interesting. With his permission, I share the following.
He referenced a 10-year study (CEO Genome Project) that examined the top leaders in our country. Most would assume they all attended a prestigious Ivy League college. Not so . . . only 7% did. Surprisingly, 8% never attended college. Even more interesting were the behaviors that set them apart from all other leaders.

Surprisingly, 8% never attended college. Even more interesting were the behaviors that set them apart from all other leaders.
Behaviors included:
1) They practiced relentless reliability. In other words, their word was their bond. If they said they were going to do something, they did it. You could count on it.
2) They were proactive in adapting to changing circumstances. They didn’t ignore or look the other way when a new trend was emerging. They flexed their plans accordingly and were willing to change course.
3) They were a master at relationships. They were active listeners. They asked good questions, open-ended questions. They showed genuine interest. They saw leadership potential in all their staff which promoted loyalty to the organization and its leader(s).
I share this because one thing is for certain in this day and age . . . models will change, technology will change and the mode of transactions will change. What remains constant is the need for integrity, strong leadership, and the desire to build solid business relationships in our chosen vocations.
