3 teacher characteristics ... one of the best article

 

There are three characteristics as a teacher that make you  successful  as a corporate leader:
First,  you have to communicate well. All good teachers communicate well with their students. They come across as convincing and persuasive.   

Second, teachers really care about developing other people.  That’s their job. Their job is to make their students better.  So in the position of a corporate leader, what you need to do is to develop your layers of management – make them better.  

Lastly, teachers are willing to swallow their pride and hire people who are better than they are.  If you went back to your high school reunion and you’ve become really successful and you see Mrs. Smith who was your high school teacher, she is thrilled to see you become a very successful person, way more successful than she is. She’s very happy. Teachers always want their students to be better.  So you really have to have that humility of self-deprecating character to really bring in people better than you are because that’s how organizations improve.  Companies don’t grow because their leaders don’t grow with the company.
