Sweet Job Tips: Margaret Thatcher Leadership Traits that Can be Applied to Your Executive Search

 

Sweet Success Leader:  

Margaret Thatcher  


This month's leader is the internationally recognized leader,. Margaret Thatcher. She is one of the few women that has held a position of international leadership at her level.

The video clip below is 3 minutes.

Margaret Thatcher's Leadership Traits:

  • Courage to see an opportunity and take it.
  • Decisiveness in times of crisis.
  • Clear beliefs held with an evangelical zeal. During the 1979 election, she ridiculed the Socialist Prime Minister Callaghan saying, "The Old Testament prophets did not say `Brothers, I want a consensus.' They said, `This is my faith; this is what I passionately believe; if you believe it too, then come with me.'" Her crusading qualities were embedded in her Methodist background, which gave a moral purpose to all she did.
  • Physical strength. She needed little sleep and would certainly have been killed by the IRA bomb in Brighton if she had not been working on her conference speech at 2:00 a.m.
  • Intellectual capacity. She entered Oxford at 17 reading chemistry.

Have a great week!
