YOUR THOUGHTS AND RESPONSES
What is the Definition of a Successful Leader?
Thank you for your thoughtful responses to our main topic story on The Definition of a Successful Leader.
Many of you cited some of the important traits and skills of successful leaders as well. I have summarized these skills and traits in the following way:
1. Leads efforts to develop strategies that capitalize on the organization’s unique strengths and capabilities
2. Anticipates short- and longer-term competitive trends that may affect key strategies
3. Identifies gaps that may hinder the organization’s ability to execute strategies (e.g., talent acquisition, commitment issues, new and emerging technology, product short-falls, engineering resources)
4. Positions the company to respond quickly to perceived/defined threats through strategic agility.
I would love to hear what you think and would greatly value your input. Please give me your thoughts on this list and previous conversations on our main topics. Let me know what YOU would add to the list. Just drop me a quick email at [email protected] with your ideas regarding The Essential Ingredients of Leadership.

Coach’s Corner – March Madness and an exclusive never-seen before interview with UCLA Coach John Wooden
In every newsletter I include a quote from UCLA Coach John Wooden, whom I had the great pleasure to interview while I was a leader at UPS. Coach often said, “There is no progress without change, not all change is progress.” Click below to view the full interview.
With March Madness around the corner, please look at the unique and exclusive interview with legendary Coach John Wooden on our website. Coach Wooden was a supporter of the Jimmy V Foundation and in memory of Coach Valvano, who passed away, April 28, 1993, we are remembering Coach Valvano and his fight by donating one dollar to the Jimmy V Fund to find the cure for each copy of Tighten The Lug Nuts sold.
Coach Valvano is remembered for being many things: a player, a coach, a broadcaster, a brother, husband and a father. But above all he was an inspiration. And when he was diagnosed with cancer at 46, he never gave up. Thank you in advance for your generous support and enjoy the book.

What Others Are Saying . . .
“Rocky Romanella brings real lessons for leadership from decades of management practice. Practical lessons in values, roles, problems, energy, and legacy are delivered in context of real world experience – but with lessons directly accessible to the reader. A different, and worthy read.”
Benn Konsynski, PhD, Emory University George S. Craft Distinguished University Professor of Information Systems and Operations Management
“Quite frankly, your keynote address was one of the best we’ve ever had.”
“It’s clear that you spoke to us from your heart. You were presenting, not mere team management principles, but rather a philosophy of life, one that you clearly believe and live by. It was very enthusiastically received.”
“I am especially grateful for the advanced preparation you did, calling our members, getting to know the issues they face and tailoring your presentation to the unique needs of our group. You hit this one out of the park.”
Craig S. Fry, Executive Director, Service Specialists Association
Tighten the Lug Nuts: The Principles of Balanced Leadership
Leadership is something we all have concerns about. Leadership is not a concept that only applies to certain people in business, government, and civic organizations. The reality is that no matter our age, gender, occupation, educational level, or position in life, each of us touches and influences other lives. In this book, rated 5 stars on Amazon, I present a powerful overview of the concepts of Balanced Leadership and how each of us as leaders in our own way can make a difference and Leave Our Legacy.
