Fortune’s list was developed based on their own analysis of 12-36 months profits, revenues, and stock performance, return on capital and debt, and the intangibles: Is the CEO influencing business? Be humble, contemplative: Whether it’s hiring people better than you, or practicing a quieter-than-normal leadership style, or taking the time to listen to customers and employees directly, humility, sharing the credit and taking time to just think alone seem to be a trend among these leaders.
Key Takeaways:
- Hire people who know more than you do, who you can be inspired by.
- Leverage this talented team as an “ecosystem,” including brainstorming new ideas with them in a way that births better new ideas and solutions.
- Words and actions matter, and people are watching and listening, especially during times of uncertainty, change and stress.
