As a leader, have you ever wondered what type of CEO you would be? Ben Horowitz's wartime/peacetime CEO thesis challenges the traditional business school consensus which has basically defined leadership as the "peacetime CEO" model. In reality, leadership is far more complex and nuanced than that. Horowitz's thesis highlights the critical importance of differentiating between peacetime and wartime leadership. As he notes, the skills and qualities required of a wartime CEO are starkly different from those of a peacetime CEO. Understanding these differences can make all the difference in your own leadership style. Please note that there is no right and wrong here. A peacetime leader during wartime is as bad as a wartime leader in peacetime. So, are you a peacetime leader or a wartime leader? Check out this insightful article by Horowitz to learn more about the two types of CEOs and what it takes to succeed in each role. Link: https://lnkd.in/gWB995nF

Great leaders understand the importance of being present. By allowing us to be heard, they keep us grounded in the here and now. They know that dwelling too much on the past or future can cloud our minds. Instead, they focus on the present, starting with our environment and culture. Great leaders understand that what we do today is critical for tomorrow's success. By taking our learnings from yesterday, we can guide some of our actions today. Let's be PRESENT!
