It hardly seems like a year has passed since 33 miners were rescued during the Chilean mine disaster. The Washington Post's On Leadership contributor Melissa Steffan conducted a follow-up interview with Minister Laurence Golborne about his leadership under pressure during the crisis. I found his reflections in "One Year After the Chilean Mine Rescue, Minister Laurence Golborne Reflects on Leadership under Pressure" interesting in light of Monday's post.
Here are a couple of nuggets:
- Establish a relationship based on trust and truth.
- Hundreds of people working together can make miracles.
- Leaders must learn how to listen, how to listen to people and then make decisions.
