My Top 5 Leadership Lessons: Marcus de Vasconcelos

In this series we have been talking to some of our Partners who have been sharing their Top 5 Leadership Lessons. In this blog, Marcus de Vasconcelos,  Managing Partner of our Swiss office shares his.

Be yourself, the great and the not-so-great. Moderate your behaviours, but build trust through authenticity. Be vulnerable, not invincible.

Cultivate your understanding of yourself. Constantly push your boundaries while not forgetting to be grateful for who you already are. Know how you impact others and aim to treat them in the way they want to be treated.

Believe in yourself, believe in other people, believe in new ideas, believe in lifelong learning, believe in humanity’s innate potential for good.

Remain curious and open-minded, yet accept you can’t know it all. Surround yourself with people who complement your talents and let them be themselves in pursuit of change. Listen and serve rather than tell and be served.

Let your purpose shine through you in all its glory. Rally likeminded people to create bold movements that can make a better world. Accept ongoing change and ambiguity as part of your journey.
