Matt’ “rags to riches” Barrett's retired Baraclays Chairman Gives Top Tips For Management Success


I really like Matt’ “rags to riches” Barrett's (recently retired Chairman of Barclays Bank PLC and a long serving CEO of both Barclays in the UK and Bank of Montreal in Canada) top personal traits for management success.
  1. Humble but very collected and confident
  2. Sharpe / keen mind
  3. Prepared to make tough business decisions when situation calls for one
  4. Humanistic
  5. Iconoclastic when warranted
  6. Open, friendly and approachable
  7. Engaging
  8. Personable
  9. Respectful
  10. Goal oriented
  11. Value focused
  12. Always searching for new ideas that enable better ways of doing things
  13. Team player no matter if he is the advisor, leader or subordinate
  14. Excellent communicator (frank without being off-putting)
