About the Summary
Have you ever met someone, and within one or two minutes, you know that they’re special? That they stand out from the crowd? They have a spark that lights up their environment. They don’t seem to have trouble succeeding. They are Unicorns and you can be one, too. That may sound like a crazy promise, especially in today’s hyper competitive and ever-evolving work world. But author William Vanderbloemen has found a way to achieve this, based on data collected and studied over the course of his career as the founder and leader of an executive search firm. With thousands of repetitions under his belt, he is pretty good at spotting Unicorns. In fact, he’s not only learned how to spot them, but what qualities and habits they have in common. And in Be the Unicorn: 12 Data-Driven Habits that Separate the Best Leaders from the Rest he’s going to share them with you.
In This Summary, You Will Learn:
- Why being overeager is not a weakness.
- The role agility plays in personal and corporate success.
- Why being prepared is better than playing hard to get.
- How likability trumps competence.
