Customer Reviews
Authentic Leadership
I started listening to David Cote’s audiobook on Winning Now and Winning Later. I love it and let my colleagues know to read or listen to it so they can learn and practice the many good leadership traits and best practices mentioned in the book. It was inspiring to see how David overcame and being frank and honest about the challenges he faced in his first few months with Honeywell. I like how he ran the meetings giving the chance for junior members to share their ideas. I also picked up on the intelligent risk sharing and to be ready to get out when it is no longer working. I am sure there are more great things to pick up as I finish reading the book.
