Here are 5 Significant Perspectives from Resolve Lending, Inc. on leadership when those you are leading have GOOGLIZED themselves (or they just became a teenager).

1. The leader’s responsibility is not to know all but to have rightly assimilated all information both respectfully and constantly; authority will quickly follow.

2. Those you are leading can take a leader deeper than ever thought possible in certain subjects. Go with them, embrace them. Or do what I call “project their passions to death and learn from them.”

3. It has been well documented that our “titles” have little power in the information age. I would add, factual or agenda driven knowledge is as inherently powerless. Gifted leaders incase their knowledge in wisdom. Wisdom is the “it factor” of leadership. Wisdom is the blend of intuition, experience, fearlessness and character all rolled into one - develop wisdom.

4. One of the greatest qualities of a leader is humility. As a leader, be prepared to have a depth of insight on many subjects; therefore if you are continually accosted by a GOOGLIZED Personality Disorder (GPD) confidently tell them it’s time for them to reboot. Nicely of course!

5. During my graduate studies a history professor told me, “If you want to understand history don’t worry too much about reading broadly, instead read deeply on one individual or topic and all of history will start to open up before your eyes.”

Leaders today cannot afford NOT to read deeply or you will be trampled by those with too little information.
