What qualities come to mind when you think about a good leader? Good listener, empathetic, good communication skills, humble, and clear expectations. Whether you're leading a small or large team, How to Be a Leader by former Honeywell CEO David Cote is a resource that will help you become the leader everyone respects and follows.ย 

60 entries each focus on a leadership topic, highlight Cote's advice, and end with a prompt to help you build your leadership skills. How to Be a Leader will teach you how to:


  • pursue long- and short- term goals.

  • commit to change and the best ways to implement change.

  • inspire others and push yourself at the same time.

  • create alignment around company strategy.

  • improve productivity and manage different opinions.

  • create a diverse and connected culture.

Leadership isn't about having all the answers or having control of everything. Leadership means bringing out the best in your employees, creating paths that work for your business, and building a presence that exists in small and big moments.

As Chairman and CEO of the industrial giant Honeywell over 16 years, David Cote grew the companyโ€™s market capitalization from around $20 billion to nearly $120 billion, delivering returns of 800 percent and beating the S&P by nearly two and a half times.ย Currently, David is Executive Chairman of Vertiv Holdings Co., a global data center products and services provider.ย Since joining as Chairman, the Vertiv stock has risen 250 percent since its launch in February 2020.ย He was elected to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in March 2014 and continued through March 2018, as a Class B director to represent the interests of the public. He is a member of the Aspen Economic Strategy Group and former board member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Conference of Montreal.ย David holds a number of awards, including the Horatio Alger Award, CEO of the Year from Chief Executive Magazine for 2013, and Barronโ€™s Top 30 CEOโ€™s globally for five consecutive years.
