\t\t\t\tBy William Seidman<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I’m back from the Transformational Leadership Gala\u00a0in Chicago, sponsored in part by the Wright\u00a0Institute for the Realization of Human Potential<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Judith\u00a0 Wright, Ed. D.<\/a> \u00a0and Bob Wright, Ed. D.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0did an amazing job organizing this for 350 participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I joined a\u00a0discussion on\u00a0leadership that transforms society for the better.\u00a0 At dinner I sat next to Ronald Riggio<\/a>, author of Transformational Leadership<\/em> and a great guy. His work examines the characteristics of what makes someone a transformational leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Our work was about how such a leader can touch hundreds or thousands at once, and we had much to talk about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The keynote speaker was Brad Anderson<\/a>, CEO of Best Buy, who gave a great speech about how he went from a “fat, long-haired hippy” managing a three-person video store to building Best Buy into a multi-billion-dollar company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Anderson stressed that a key idea is to empower others to be creative, and to not overly-centralize decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

It was clear in listening to him that he was simultaneously pretty humble and damn tough. He could be supportive and demanding at the same time – good combination!<\/p>\n\n\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
