In my last blog entry there was great discussion about the differences between leadership and management. Much of my assertions were targeted at advancing the notion that leadership is supreme in function and substance to managerial aptitude.

However, in order to advance this conversation about leadership I have spent the last week thinking about the top ten most coveted leadership traits that we all as young, emerging, and established professionals must have.

The following is the result of my time of reflection:

  1. THE LEADER EMBODIES PROFESSIONALISM: For the leader professionalism in all dealings with subordinates, superiors, cross-divisional support personnel, and even the Barista that produces his morning coffee is important.

Hey everyone,

I've been doing a lot of research regarding post-grad jobs, but my career goals are to one day run my own company. What kind of job/specific job would be best to prepare myself for that kind of endeavor (other than starting your own business/start-up)?

Thanks

SAFE Assets

I found a nice graphic, showing the current assets of SAFE, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China, which manages the chinese FX Reserves

China´s FX Reserves exceed $3 trillion

SAFE was famous for the miss-management in crisis 2007, it was said that the company had more than $100 billion in MBSs

Investing in US treasury bonds is the main activity of SAFE, they´re one of the largest creditors of the USA.

The first comes from an old school New Yorker. A hardened veteran of the entertainment industry.

The guy I'm talking about:

Kid, in this business...it's who you know or who you blow.
