Maksym Turzanski's Key Ideas from Leading Leaders
by Jeswald W. Salacuse

Leadership among leaders is less about commands and more about negotiations. Salacuse highlights that collaboration, shared goals, and compromise foster stronger connections and loyalty among independent-minded team members.

Micromanaging other leaders stifles creativity and innovation. Empower them to make decisions, take risks, and lead their teams autonomously while providing guidance and support when needed.

Trust is the foundation of effective leadership. Be transparent, consistent, and fair in your interactions. When leaders trust you, they are more likely to follow your vision and inspire their own teams.

Salacuse emphasizes that clear, open, and respectful communication is crucial when leading leaders. Encourage dialogue, listen actively, and create an environment where ideas and feedback flow freely.

Empathy is a critical skill for connecting with leaders. Understand their challenges, show compassion, and provide support. This builds stronger relationships and ensures alignment within your team.

Leaders often have their own goals and agendas. It’s your responsibility to show how these align with the larger organizational mission. This creates a shared sense of purpose and unity.

Leaders thrive in environments that foster growth. Offer opportunities for professional development, mentorship, and skills training to keep them motivated and engaged.

Acknowledging achievements boosts morale and fosters loyalty. Celebrate both individual and team successes to create a culture of appreciation and motivation

Leading leaders requires flexibility. Different leaders respond to different styles, so adapt your approach based on the situation and the individuals you’re working with.

Disagreements among leaders can destabilize teams. Salacuse emphasizes the importance of mediating conflicts quickly and effectively to maintain harmony and focus on shared goals.

Leadership is about teamwork, not competition. Foster an environment where leaders work together toward common goals, leveraging each other’s strengths and expertise.

Leaders look to you for inspiration. Embody the qualities you expect from others—integrity, resilience, vision, and accountability. Leading by example motivates others to follow suit.

Salacuse underscores the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership. Understand and manage your emotions while being attuned to the feelings of others to build trust and rapport.

Leaders often focus on immediate results. Help them see how short-term victories contribute to long-term success, ensuring alignment with the organization’s overarching strategy.

Even top-performing leaders benefit from constructive feedback. Provide regular, actionable input to help them grow and refine their skills.
