Independent Thinking as a Key Leadership Trait
Independent thinking is a crucial skill for effective leadership, according to David Cody, the former CEO of Honeywell. Cody emphasizes that being smart is not enough; leaders must be able to think for themselves and not simply follow the herd. He shares his own journey of independent thinking, from looking at Japan as a model during a time of Japan-bashing in the US to implementing a system inspired by Toyota's culture of excellence at Honeywell. Cody believes that leaders must make decisions based on their own judgment, even when faced with bad options, and must focus on long-term results rather than short-term gains.
