In this episode, I have the privilege to interview Walt Offen. A statistician that is about to end an amazing career over a couple of decades of working in the pharmaceutical industry. Walt organized together, what he believes to be the 20 key attributes of highly successful leaders. They are organized in no particular order but enriched with great stories. Of course, there is a difference between leadership and managing. Leadership is the ability to inspire others when there is no supervisory control. For a highly effective organization, everyone can and should be a leader. In part one, we cover the first 10: Having a can-do attitude Being able to apologize Inspiring others to join the cause (without authority) Share credit Show humility Be trustworthy and develop trust in others Engaging everyone on the team, making them feel valued and important Remain calm, be kind to everyone Provide opportunities for others to shine Putting the organization, colleagues, the company, ahead of personal goals
