Make Leadership Positive, Rational and Information-focused

In his book, Business @ the Speed of Thought: Succeeding in the Digital Economy, Bill Gates writes admiringly of General Motors’ legendary leader Alfred P. Sloan, who is considered one of the pioneers of modern management.

Gates writes, “It’s inspiring to see in Sloan’s account of his career how positive, rational, information-focused leadership can lead to extraordinary success.” 

Clearly, Gates has adopted these same qualities of being positive, rational, and information-focused in his approach to leadership, both in Microsoft and in his foundation, and achieved with it extraordinary success.
