The Best and Brightest

One of the guiding principles of leadership is to surround yourself with the best and brightest individuals you can find. Barack Obama understands this principle and leverages the talents, passion, and political capital of others to make real change. Change should be based on egalitarian principles of merit, inclusiveness, and alignment. Authentic leadership lets go of ego and role and instead focuses on collaboration and collective intelligence. This is why Oboma can transform America and provide an example for other leaders in government and industry to emulate.
