My Top 5 Leadership Lessons – Marcus de Vasconcelos

JUMP TO SECTION

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.

  1. Authenticity

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

  2. Awareness

    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.

  3. Belief

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

  4. Humility

    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.

  5. Passion

    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.
