4 leadership tips from new White House communications director

Anthony Scaramucci was recently named White House communications director. Although he is best known as the co-founder of SkyBridge Capital, he is also the author of a book of leadership advice, according to the Washington Post.

Listed below are four of the biggest leadership takeaways from Mr. Scaramucci's Hopping over the Rabbit Hole: How Entrepreneurs turn Failure into Success.

  1. It's almost always more productive to work with those who were once adversaries instead of work against them, although revenge may sometimes be attractive for those in power.
  2. Take responsibility and own up to mistakes. No one can trust a leader who can't admit when they've been wrong.
  3. Create a work environment that reflects team goals, because an environment where people work solely out of self-interest will ultimately collapse.
  4. Self-victimization and living in the past keep leaders from focusing on the present and future, and severely hamper an organization's chances for success.
