Leadership Lessons

Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, has become a go to resource for other CEOs looking for tips on how to turn around their organizations. When asked, he offers four simple but important lessons he's learned and suggests others apply: 

1. Don't be a "know it all," be a "learn it all." 

2. Bring clarity, not confusion. 

3. Create energy. 

4. No excuses. 

As a leader do you model these? Are you continually looking for new ideas, new approaches and new perspectives even if they challenge what you think you already know? Do you simplify things and create laser like focus for your teams?  Do you inspire and energize your team?  Do you help your team overcome barriers and find creative ways to get things done?
