Study Notes
Anne Scheiber's Remarkable Wealth
- Anne Scheiber, a 101-year-old woman, left a $22 million estate to Yeshiva University.
- She was a retired IRS auditor who never received promotions despite a law degree.
- She lived frugally in a small, rent-controlled apartment.
- Her success came from saving and reinvesting earnings from stocks, compounding her wealth over time.
- She consistently invested in additional stocks, regardless of stock value fluctuations.
The Law of Process and Leadership
- Leadership develops daily, not in a day; it's like successful stock market investing, requiring consistent effort.
- Daily agenda reflects priorities, passion, abilities, relationships, attitude, personal disciplines, vision, and influence; these daily habits build a leader over time.
- Leadership is a collection of learnable skills, not solely innate; it takes consistent work, experience, emotional strength, and people skills.
The Phases of Leadership Growth
- Phase 1 (I don't know what I don't know): Many underestimate leadership's value and importance; leadership is about influence, not just titles.
- Phase 2 (I know that I need to know): When placed in a leadership position, people may realize gaps in their leadership skill.
- Phase 3 (I know what I don't know): Leaders actively seek knowledge and skill development; recognizing limitations and taking action towards improvement.
- Phase 4 (I know and grow, and it starts to show): Leadership skills evolve and grow noticeable over time through consistent learning and practice.
- Phase 5 (I simply go because of what I know): Leadership becomes intuitive and automatic with extensive experience and practice.
Leadership and Process: Lessons from History and Examples
- Anne Scheiber's strategy of consistent investment parallels the Law of Process.
- Top leaders are continuous learners; they improve abilities for improved leadership through daily growth.
- Leadership requires consistent effort, like athletes training daily to be champions despite natural gifts.
- Theodore Roosevelt, despite being physically frail as a child, demonstrates consistent dedication to developing both personal and leadership skills (physical training, extensive travel and speaking engagements, etc.).
- Roosevelt's rise to leadership, spanning diverse roles from New York City police commissioner to U.S. president, exemplified continuous improvement.
- Developing leadership is like investing in the stock market: it's a long-term process, not a short-term gain.
