Provocative and Unconventional Views of Leadership | Don Schmincke Live Like a Leader

    • Ledarskap

Don Schmincke is an explorer, scientist, and researcher. He is also just a lot of fun to talk with.

In our conversation, I failed to ask a lot of questions, like how were you invited into the African Tsonga tribe? Or, tell us about the hard problems of missile guidance... The good news is that we did talk about a lot of his interesting observations about business and management.

We started out talking about the failure rates of most management theories and why they fail? We talk about how most people are teaching leadership wrong and the difference correcting that makes.

We talk about how Steve Jobs could be a great leader even though he was "a jerk" (people follow the STORY the leader represents), strategy vs. tactics, winners and losers, and what winning means. We also discuss tribal human grouping instincts, symbols, rituals, magic, and more! It's a rollicking conversation I think you'll enjoy!
