Four Management Lessons from Anna Wintour

Lesson 1: Keep Meetings Short - meetings are long if they go more than seven minutes and everyone knows to show up on time, prepared and ready to dive in.

Lesson 2: Trust Your Instincts - It’s quintessential Anna Wintour: knowing what she wants, making clear decisions and moving on…here is someone who knows that her gut instincts have gotten her to where she is, so she listens to them, trusts them and isn’t afraid to put them on the line.

Lesson 3: Surround Yourself with Great Talent - you’re only as good as the people who work for you, bad leaders are threatened by strong team members, and that success comes from surrounding yourself with the most talented people you can find.

Lesson 4: Don’t Look Back - Always move forward. Don’t dwell on the past. Life is short and there’s lots to get done.
