Lee Iacocca on Leadership

Lee Iacocca, former Republican?

That’s the verdict if you read the excerpt from his new book on leadership:
Where Have All the Leaders Gone?

Iacocca’s book describes the “Nine Cs of Leadership”:

- Curiosity
- Creativity
- Communication
- Character
- Courage
- Conviction
- Charisma
- Competence
- Common Sense

Wait, there’s more: the ability to deal with a Crisis

Maybe Iacocca ought to go buy Chrysler.

The book is written in his unmistakable voice:

Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We’ve got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we’ve got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can’t even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, “Stay the course.”

He’s right. Much more here >>
