Bill Russell's 11 Lessons on Leadership

Here are Bill Russell's first five Lessons on Leadership...

1) Curiosity is a key to commitment and, specifically, to problem solving. Curiosity will always allow you to ask the right questions...Why? What if? How?

2) Everything you do begins with yourself, but for you to use ego to win, you have to make it all about your team. Winning is a team sport and can only be accomplished through team ego.

3) Listening helps you hear what isn't being said as much as what is. Active listening helps you find a new language that helps others listen more effectively.

4) Toughness and tenderness are not opposites but partners in effective leadership.

5) Invisibility is learning how to make your opposites believe they can't beat you even when your not there.
