Leadership lessons from Tom Peters

Uber Guru Tom Peters, published a fast company article on 50 leadership qualities, in his typical unorthodox and in-your-face style. Now, blogger Ron Hurst has started commenting on each of these 50 items, that offers his view of the quality, followed by a practical challenge for you to understand each rule, that you may find very interesting.

Some leadership qualities that Tom Peters write include:

1. Leaders on snorting steeds (the visionary greats!) are important.6. The leader is rarely -- possibly never? -- the best performer.7. Leaders deliver.10. Leaders understand the ultimate power of relationships.17. Leaders are natural empowerment freaks.
26. Leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders.
33. Leaders wear their passion on their sleeve.
38. Leadership is a performance.40. Leaders give everyone a cause.42. Leaders think -- make that know -- that they can make a difference.
45. Leaders revel in surrounding themselves with people who are smarter than they are.47. Leaders make meaning.
50. Leaders know when to leave.
