When all of your competitors are headed down the same road, take one less-traveled. That may turn some people off, but it will fire others up.
In a single word what we call it as "ANTITHESIS" is the quality of a leader which makes him different from a crowd.ANALYSING the annals,ANTICIPATING the future,APPREHENDING the best, are three areas on which a leaders mind work.
The best example which comes to my mind in terms of business leadership is of GOLDMAN SACHS.The only firm which anticipated one of the largest crises "the subprime mortgage crises",the only crisis which brought down many of the big firms, which include Merrill lynch,J.P Morgans, Lehman Brothers and many such firms,causing billions of losses.Whereas GS sailed through this trauma with around 18% growth.
The credit for which goes to GS analysts and the workforce.Last year while other firms were moving with the market and were constantly investing in mortgage firms,They anticipated the future of mortgage related loans and went against the tide by divesting their securities slowly and calmly from mortgage firms and investing them somewhere else.
And now they are no.1 in investment banking,leaving behind LEH their main rivals in the race .Its not anything like they are different,its what they do is different and thats what leaders do.
