8. The Law of Intuition: Leaders Evaluate Everything With A Leadership Bias.

Points of the Principle

Leaders cannot rely on just facts. Great leaders have to have intuition. They have to

have the instinct to see changes and plan strategies for facing those changes.

Intuition can either be innate or developed. Always, it is a combination of natural

abilities and acquired skills.

A Leader Who Lives Out the Law

When Steve Jobs went back to Apple Computer, he started by making major

decisions that relied on intuitive leadership. His move to form a strategic alliance

archenemy Bill Gates was an intuitive move that could have failed. But Steve Job's

intuition worked, and that action improved business and increased the company's

stock value.

Pointers for Practice:

Intuition requires a reading of:

1. The Situation

2. Trends

3. Resources

4. People

5. The Selves

Three Levels of Leadership Intuition

1. Those Who Naturally See It

2. Those Who Are Nurtured to See It

3. Those Who Will Never See It
