“Leaders grow; they are not made.”

Peter Drucker

Dear Senior Team:

As a group of individuals who have the day-to-day responsibilities of managing a corporation, you have the honor and the responsibility to be consistently participating or otherwise involved in what is going on around you. On the one hand, your roles are defined. On the other hand, they also continue to emerge and be redefined as circumstances dictate. Gleaned from the extensive body of business literature, my own random thoughts on leadership go something like this.

Leaders are people who:

•Lead as well as manage

•Motivate and set an example for others in all that they do

•Know what they are responsible for and do it

•Recognize and understand the big picture

•Exemplify personal integrity, respect and fairness

•Participate in defining and implementing corporate strategy

•Support staff at every turn

•Participate in corporate growth, success and the accomplishment of excellence

My expectations for you as a group are that you will:

•Do the job

•Learn the business

•Pay attention

•Lead by example

•Be strategically in sync with organizational goals and each other

•Stand behind and for the CEO

•Get the best out of each others’ brains

•Focus on the customer

•Actively participate

•Carry each others’ water

•Push the frontier of our collective thoughts and actions

That is where I would set the bar. I know you are up to the task!

Thank you,

Mallary
