Collaboration is all well and good, but personal magnetism still drives results.ach in
I'm not sure I would agree with the author's point that getting things done requires personal magnetism. I've had the fortunate experience over the last 30 years to observe over 30,000 CEOs and Key Executives. My partners and I have interviewed over 250,000 executives.
I cannot find any evidence linking personal magnetism with success. I find leadership is situational. Sometimes it calls for being decisive and making unilateral decisions - then selling the troops on the plan. Other times it requires a softer touch - a more collaborative style that is not forceful or "magnetic".
What do you think?
Is there one style that dominates as the preferred approach in getting results?
