In The Power of Professionalism I wrote extensively about the importance of professionals having a point-of-view. (see chapter eight, mind-set three)
Nilofer Merchant’s recent article—Having A Point of View–nicely compliments the spirit chapter eight. As she notes, having a point of view ” attracts talent…creates allies…focuses the work.” All true, plus some.
Check out the article, it’s a good reminder.
