Here are my thoughts to each point.
1. Actually lead by example. This one is valid. Lot of bosses try to manipulate rather than lead.
2. Celebrate the small victories. Yes, this also makes sense. Step-by-step. Also, boosts the moral of the workers.
3. Don't hire everyone. Yes, don't hire inconsiderate and borderline psychotic people. This one is specially important because one toxic guy can ruin the party.
4. Real Life Meetings. Personally, most meetings are waste of time...and can be done by email....
Overall, the post is short and sweet but here are some issues to think about.
Leading by example, why does it fail? Often leaders are not real leaders but are in that for some other reasons. For instance, the prior leader was so bad that the next one could not be worse.
Don't hire everyone. Ok...sometimes you have to make trade-offs between skills and personality, just look at Steve Jobs.
Meetings...Number one complaint of workers...useless meetings.
Finally, everyone firm and organization is different, so don't try to apply everything you
read from books and hear from consultants. Because if you do, you will have certain
failure. Be wise and experiment :D
