Steve Burke, CEO of NBC Universal, on what he views as the role of a leader.
1. The first role of a leader is to determine the truth, not what you want the truth to be.
2. Once you have a clear picture of reality, you have to work with your team to figure out what the plan is going forward.
3. A good leader takes the time to explain why others should support the plan.
4. Giving people the resources to execute the plan will make sure it’s successful.
5. After progress is made, you have to go back to the beginning, evaluate the situation again and adjust.
