Blending Leadership: Rules

We cannot make the same mistake of prescribing a set of “leadership rules” that will make someone a better leader. Yes, by reading about and thinking about interesting stories around education, technology, and leadership one can become a more informed leader, but the decision about what is done with that information is what defines “betterness” or “worseness” in any space. Our work shows how successful leaders, online or off, filter and apply those elements that are most valuable and relevant to emergent challenges. Successful leaders reject the idea that leaders have to figure out all the answers — and even ask all the questions — up front. Instead, they learn, and apply their learning, continuously.
