The Lee Kuan Yew Way of Leadership

The 5 Leadership Lessons of Lee Kuan Yew include:

1. Build Winning Teams.  Lee not only built one strong team, he built many strong teams. Most importantly, the teams went on to win many battles, be it the unions, business associations, tertiary institutions or Government-linked companies like Capitaland and DBS.  Lee's legacy is unprecedented
2. Stubborn Yet Flexible.  Lee was stubborn to his goals yet was flexible if times have changed.  Like he pushed for the merger with Malaysia, yet changed his position two years later when things didn't work out
3. Win People Over with Ideas, not Ideals.  Lee won the hearts of many with his far-sighted yet pragmatic ideas.  The US President Ronald Reagan and UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher were his admirers. Yet he welcomed debates but would not hesitate to point out you are wrong if he thinks so. In the end even his opponents like Opposition Leaders Chiam See Tong and Lau Thia Kiang spoke highly of him. 
4. Leading a Very Virtuous Life.  He lived a life of virtues: he had no bad habits, treated everyone well, loved his wife and family very much and most importantly, full of integrity.
5. Attract Talents with Attractive System. All the talented people in Singapore worked for Lee's government or associates because he had an unbeatable system: meritocracy coupled with high salaries.

As we know, most managers are promoted based on their technical skills, when in fact it is the managerial skills that will make them successful. Many new managers go through 4 phases: excitement, confusion, exploration, and performance. At every stage, you need to have the right type of strategies to move forward, otherwise you will be stuck.
