????A similar dilemma holds true for companies that have gone through long-term, successful growth and now enter into the extending stage of growth: does the leader have the guts not just to persevere but also to evolve? Apple (AAPL), of course, is a poster-child for this (dropping the word "computer" from its company name in 2007 to reflect the shift), and Yahoo (YHOO) and Research in Motion (RIMM) have found themselves at their own moment of truth. But over the next decade, the same questions will come about for our contemporary darlings -- the Facebooks of the world -- that will have to meet new innovations and entrants into the market. ????How do you lead with strength while keeping a sense of honesty about your company's vulnerabilities? It starts with self-awareness, both as it relates to a leader's individual qualities as well as the decisions they make. It's a timeless quality that marks all great business leaders. ????Are you arrogant? Are you humble? Are you a little of both? What really matters is that you know yourself; that you have a sense of when to dial it up and cool things down, and to ask for help when the situation demands. ????Anthony Tjan is CEO of Cue Ball Capital and is co-author of Heart, Smarts, Guts and Luck (Harvard Business Review Press). |
