I had the good fortune to get to know John O'Neil during my start-up days. His wisdom, grace and humility belied a keen intellect and broad understanding of business. I just ran across one of John's most recent articles entitled "Virtues and Character Markings of Future Leaders", and I highly recommend it.
John's vision of leadership is spot on. I would love to say that there is no way to run a successful creative age organization without following his advice, but Apple proves that is not true. Even so, the Apple model is not broadly replicable. But we could see a lot more profitable companies if we followed John's insights.
