“The truth is that leadership is an observable set of skills and abilities that is useful whether one is in the executive suite or on the front line, on Wall Street or Main Street. And any skill can be strengthened, honed, and enhanced if we have the motivation and desire, the practice and feedback, the role models and coaching, and the support and recognition.”

—Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner The Leadership Challenge, Third Ed.

What We Learned

 Know Your Customers and Their Workflow

 Test With Customers While Building (and Don’t Forget to Budget For It)

  If You Build It, They Won’t Come Unless A Sales Person Shows Them The Way

  It’s a Business, Not a Product

Hard Questions to Ask Yourself

  Is this what my customers want?

 Can the project lead focus on this?

  Is there someone in sales who will treat this like a business instead of a product?

 Will my marketing team dedicate dollars and create a plan for launch + 3 years?

  Is the opportunity big enough to support above?

Questions We Wrestle With

 Capacity to build? Internal vs. external development.

 Can we secure needed corporate resources (IT and Tech Support, for example)?

 Do we have the discipline to build faster/smaller?

 Can a sales teams focus on a particular market/discipline vs. selling all Wiley products?

“The focus of a leader’s attention should be less on the routine operations and much more on the untested and untried. Leaders should always be asking ‘What’s new? What’s next? What’s better?’ That’s where the future is.”
