Leadership is widely discussed today, with many leaders and experts sharing their views on the crucial principles it encompasses. Our team at Laureates’ Blog reached out to three leaders to ask their thoughts on the most important principles of leadership.
As anyone can expect, there isn’t just one key principle in leadership. We therefore encourage our audience to consider these as only some of the valuable tips for their own leadership journeys.
“The most crucial principles of leadership are – To display integrity and humility, create common values for your team and lead by example.” – Michael Williams
“Knowledge is the most crucial principle of leadership. Notable Political Scientists like Jason Brennan will agree with me. Recent findings shows that Epistocracy, a hypothetical form of leadership based on knowledge principle will drive government to their optimum best as against the much-hyped democracy.” – Oti Egwu
“Leadership requires many parts, however, my subjective opinion about the most critical has to be communication!
Sixty percent of a leaders job is centered on communication. Leadership communication is imperative to relay information about vision, culture, core values, mission, and other crucial messages required to build trust and encourage following. In practice, communication involves delivering a shared vision and inspiring others to buy into that vision.” – Daniel Kanu
