Indra Nooyi's mantras for success
September 12, 2008
One of the most important things for a leader is to identify their own core competency. In my case, my core competency is my ability to be able to demystify any complicated problem. I continuously strive to enhance that core competency.
A leader must have the courage and confidence to stand up and defend his/ her ideas.
Effective communication is the key to success. Clarity and conciseness are critical for effective communication. I urge you to read speeches of great leaders like Abraham Lincoln or John F Kennedy to see how they were able inspire people.
Consistency is an important aspect of leadership since it helps build trust in those that follow you.
Let mentors find you. If you ask someone to be your mentor and they agree, then they probably aren't going to push you as hard as someone who is grooming you for the next level.
