The Six-word Exercise of Leadership: My Thoughts from the Harvard Management Tip of the DayI liked what I read recently in the Harvard Management Tip of the Day. Ernest Hemingway was challenged to write a story using only six words. Impossible, some thought. The next day Hemingway produced this: "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." Clare Booth Luce, according to Wall Street Journal once told President John Kennedy that "a great man is one sentence." I read of someone who summed this exercise up: "It takes time and effort to boil down the essence of what you’re trying to do to a short and memorable idea." Creating a six-word memoir is a challenge – even more daunting than Twitter which gives you 140 characters – and summing up your career in six words may not produce a "eureka" moment of sudden clarity, yet the exercise challenges you to think about what work means to you and how you influence the way others work. "Big idea. Profound thoughts. Truthful moment." | ||||||||
