Leadership Speaker Series: Les Wexner - Builder of The Limited Brands/Stores

Lessons:

- read about leaders to becomes a better leader

- a complete leader has 3 characteristics a) whole person b) an educator c) a catalyst and sponsor of change

- leaders need to use influence, rather than authority to cause change

- patient decision-making: allow yourself to think things through. understand when exactly you need to give an answer, and say you’ll get an answer to them before that date. be patient in decision-making. allow yourself to sleep on it. there is always some difficulty, some unintended complexity that’s difficult to predict immediately.

- leaders really learn from their lessons
