Four-Star General Stan McChrystal<\/a>, one of the United States\u2019 most popular leadership speakers, recently wrote a powerful article on LinkedIn<\/a>, which has also been picked up by TIME<\/em> magazine. It\u2019s both an interesting look into the power of teamwork and a good indication of\u00a0the dynamism of his presentations. Here is an excerpt:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I learned one thing in my 34-year career, it was this fact: I accomplished nothing, but we did amazing things. As a leader, I have always seen it as my most critical function to create the \u201cwe,\u201d to place oneself at the center of diverse and amazing talent, and pull them together around a common purpose. \u201cI\u201d is ego, and a risky path for any leader. \u201cWe\u201d is empowerment, transparency, and shared context \u2013 all of the things the modern environment requires to be effective.\u201d Read the full article.<\/a><\/p>\n

McChrystal<\/a> is also writing a new book due out next year, Team of Teams: The Power of Small Groups in a Fragmented World<\/em>, which will follow up his 2013 best-seller My Share of the Task<\/em>.<\/p>\n
