PANEL: How Successful Leaders Think
Have you known people who can see the big picture, but have no clue about the details of a situation? Or people who get so lost in the details that they fail to see the locomotive coming down the tracks? Successful leaders learn to think at a range of altitudes. We look for lessons in the actions of great leaders. We should instead be examining what goes on in their heads-particularly the way they creatively build on the tensions among conflicting ideas.
