1. If you want to change the world, you have to understand it. If you want to understand the world, analyze how it is, not how you want it to be. “The world moves and moves fast. We live in an era of low predictability,†says Blair.
2. In a fast-changing world, companies, countries, and people must change. “Change is one of the toughest things to do. People like change in general but not in particular. Once you make change, it’s always difficult,†he says. Even in business, “we have to adjust, prepare for a state of perpetual revolution.â€
3. Stand up and take decisions. “If you want to be popular, don’t take the leadership road,†he advises.
4. Try even if you don’t always succeed. “What is forgivable is to fail. What is unforgivable is not to try. Be prepared in a state of leadership to get knocked back. Sometimes challenges are too big,†he adds. Later on, Blair says, “Every leader has a day when things go wrong. Learn a bit of humility as a leader.â€
So when does one become a leader? “When you feel such a compelling motivation to get something done and you’re prepared to put caution aside. Don’t lead for the sake of leading. Lead because you want to get something done,†says Blair.
