Pendergrass’s first blog posting discusses the “10 Tenets of
Leadership” that he has found to be essential in the management and
leadership of a wide cross-section of people:
1. Respect people. Trust them.
2. Manage by objective.
3. Enable your people.
4. Keep your commitments.
5. Demand constructive contention.
6. Focus on doing the right thing for the company, not your
career.
7. Encourage innovation.
8. Create an environment for success.
9. Display uncompromising integrity and no separation.
10. Become redundant.
In each blog entry that follows, Pendergrass will discuss one of
these 10 tenets and share examples of its value and the dangers
associated with ignoring it. Readers are encouraged to comment and
contribute their own strategies at the end of each blog entry.
