Discover Your True North | Bill George | Talks at Google

What are the characteristics of innovation leaders? Bill George argues that to remain innovative, leaders need to adopt an empowering rather than hierarchical approach. During this talk at Google, Bill talks about why leadership matters, why leaders fail, and the missing element in many organizations: innovation leaders. Bill George is senior fellow at Harvard Business School, where he has taught leadership since 2004. He is the author of four best-selling books: 7 Lessons for Leading in Crisis, True North, Finding Your True North, and Authentic Leadership, as well True North Groups. His newest book, "Discover Your True North", was published in August of 2015.

I would just like to remind you of another former CEO with a similar message: Lars Kolind, the author of "The Second Cycle: Winning the War Against the Bureaucracy".

Can someone please tell this uber-boomer to shut it with his disconnected cliche-ridden ramblings? Nothing new, all points so tired, so cliche- total waste of time.

How dare you, his books are recommended by Havard

@@liz1381 Oh, I lacked this piece of information and will of course go and buy his books now right after taking selfies at today's repeat protest against orange Hitler. The boomers created it all for us, set us up on this great track towards prosperity, equality, you name it. Greatest generation really, I was just being a grinch earlier.
