I've been following Marissa Mayer, the new CEO of Yahoo!, for quite some time now. I think she's magnificent, brilliant, and sexy. In a recent article she talks about the importance of internalizing a common vision and the acquisition of new ideas. Much of what she talks about can be found in the annals of psychology (William James, for example, in his essays on habit) and resonates very much with what some of the great minds of physics have preached (Einstein's ideology about ideas in general, "If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough."), when she describes her technique regarding business proposals, she won't waste any time on someone who can't describe what their business or objective is in 140 words or less. I find her incredibly intriguing to say the least, and I think she will continue to do great things for Yahoo! beyond increasing quarterly revenues and share prices.
I couldn't agree more.
Yahoo's Marissa Mayer Artfully Communicates An Inspiring Vision
As the great Steve Jobs once said that vision is the key to inspiring passionate, creative, and smart people: "Leadership is having a vision, being able to articulate it so people around you can understand it, and getting a consensus around a common vision".
