Best Leadership Practices: Keep It Simple

Best leaders keep it simple. In this terrific article by from The Chronicle of Higher Education, University of Virginia professor John D. Arras offers several simple and insightful leadership practices.

While professor Arras is writing about leadership in the classroom, his words can easily be applied to leadership in any organization. His thoughts on "teach thinking" (every position ... even in the same field ... needs people who can think); "Keep it Real" (every leader's goal); and "Paying it Backward and Forward" (You have great leaders in your life who taught you the ropes, didn't you?) should be required reading for every leader.

Bottom Line: Great leaders keep it simple.
