Here are some words from Peter Berry:
- “Leadership is about results. Teams deliver results, therefore judge the leader by their team.”
- “Great leaders are very self-aware, but bad leaders are clueless.”
- “At any given time, 10 percent of CEOs shouldn’t hold their roles. You might have technical skills, but it means nothing about leading a group of people.”
- “Our success is the success of CEOs. If we can help them be more successful, that’s my KPI.”
- “The challenge is to be a better leader, build a winning team, and deliver outstanding results, so be open-minded, gather the data, and get outside assistance.”
- “You may have IQ but no EQ. Those people are destroying businesses by destroying people, through toxic and bullying behavior.”
- “A great CEO has to find the right balance between managing – running the trains on time – and leadership – creating the future of transport.”
- “It’s natural for great leaders to have dysfunctional, derailing tendencies. You’ve got to be self-aware not to derail.”
- “We know how to measure leadership in order to improve it. It can be done and it can have a tremendous effect. But first, realize that none of us are perfect.”
- “Together with the personality assessment, you get a complete picture of who you are, why you are, and why you behave the way you do.”
