"For me, leadership is the ability to inspire others to achieve shared objectives." So when you're in a jam and you need your employees to hit a certain goal, remember the distinction. "Managers tell people what to do. Leaders inspire them to do it.”
Hire with vision.
Any company with hyper growth will be constantly hiring but the one should know the secret of hiring the employees who will benefit the company in the future. Weiner says that LinkedIn has been around since ten years in the large part of world because of its hiring tactics. He looks for candidates with what he calls "technology vision. “It is important to make sure other than just hiring; As a leader demonstrate the value you require your staff to possess.
