Roving reporter Rotbart’s book, September Twelfth, is now available. Did you realize the 20th anniversary of 9/11 is this week?

 

Although this book is centered on The Wall Street Journal and reads as an American comeback story, it is ripe with insights for small business owners and managers, hidden in plain sight.

 

Core lessons for leaders include:

1. Set a clear vision of your mission and expectations.
2. Hire and train employees who will embrace that mission.
3. Get out of their way and let them work, more or less, unsupervised.
4. Praise publicly and criticize as infrequently as possible in private.
5. Allow employees to take risks. When they don’t pan out, don’t make a big deal of it. Move on.
