REPOST: Twenty Invaluable Tweets on Leadership

Jason Nazar shares 20 philosophy of leadership in the form of tweets in this Forbes article.

This week I had the opportunity to attend my first Intuit Leadership Conference, a gathering of the top leaders across the 8000+ person public company that provides TurboTax, QuickBooks, Quicken, Mint and now Docstoc (the company I co-founded in 2007). Getting to meet all these amazing folks, there were a lot of conversations about what it means to be a great leader. So I asked my new friends to share their philosophy of leadership in the form of the tweets below.

I was going to include the name and titles of each of the individuals, until our CEO gave me this first tweet. Decide for yourself which of these rings the most true for you, and share your leadership tweets in the comments below and I’ll share them in return.
