Six Sides of a Squared Apple

September 21, 2009

From:  Kuczmarksi, S.S.; & Kuczmarksi, T.D. (2007).  Apples are square: thinking differently about leadership.  New York: Kaplan Publishing.

1. Humility - having humility means viewing oneself as insignificant.
2. Compassion - is all about having concern for the well-being of others.
3. Transparency -means opening one's self up, being mentally and emotionally accessible to others, and yet still in touch with one's own self and needs.
4. Inclusiveness - means to accept and recognize people's differences, relish their opinions and perspectives, and establish an environment where people are listened to, trusted, and valued.
5. Collaboration-  means  partnership.
6. Value-based decisiveness - means choosing a course of action or mental direction based on weighing several alternatives and considerations (Kuczmarksi & Kuczmarksi, 2007, p. 18-21).
