Author: 'Founder's Legacy - Fifty Game-Changing Leadership Lessons for Building a Great Business' Founder & Chairman, Value Partnership;
When you write a book you have a perspective that you want to share - and the process of writing helps you to clarify that perspective. As American novelist Flannery O'Connor put it “I write to discover what I know.” Based on what I had learned over the last couple of decades about leadership, and how founders learn to lead, I wrote the book that I wanted to read, Founder's Legacy - Fifty Game-Changing Leadership Lessons for Building a Great Business. https://lnkd.in/edrhb7y5 Once other people start reading the book and share their perspectives on it interesting things happen. This brought some revelations for me as a new author. One of those people was Roger Trapp, a journalist with a longstanding interest in leadership. I really enjoyed his take on the book in his Forbes article, re-shared here. He says "So the lessons that Court sets out to help leaders of start-ups build lasting businesses are not limited to such enterprises in much the same way that leaders of large corporations (the successful ones at least) have come to recognise that the organizations for which they are responsible have to be run a bit more like their smaller counterparts than used to be the case." Founders need to think like leaders. Leaders need to think more like founders too. https://lnkd.in/eKtf3wnd #founder #leader #leadership #foundersmentality #founderslegacy
