Leadership in Action : Bracken Darrell – Kishan Malur – Enterprise Product Management

I recommend you to read this interview of Bracken Darrell, CEO of Logitech. It is always inspiring to look back at how we waded through difficult times. But what you do in the face of success or just plain normal day is what defines leadership.

There are many other interesting things to learn from the article, but here’s something that caught my attention.

This was the CEOs message to new joiners –

“When you’ve been here 30, 60, 90 days, I want you to send me a note. And it can be one thing, it can be twelve, but I want a recommendation for what we should do differently, and what doesn’t work. I promise you I’ll read your note because you’ve got something I don’t: I’ve lost my newcomer’s advantage, and you have it.”

There’s valuing the talent, there’s openness to learn even from a new comer, there’s ground connect! Contrast that with IvoryTowerLeaders.

Logitech CEO: "It’s Your Obligation to Seek Out People to Challenge You."

Bracken Darrell has done remarkable work to turn Logitech into an innovation powerhouse. He's also a provocative thinker, with unusual insights and original points of view.
