ALPHA LEADERS
‘Alpha Leader’ is a term describing an ordinary man or woman who does extraordinary things, and who, from
some combination of skills, personality and timing, has become
a cultural icon.
Sachin Tendulkar
“The Little Master” carries the
expectations of a nation, and the admiration of all
those in the global sporting community.
Nelson Mandela
His faith in humanity, and lifetime pursuit
of freedom and equality will never be
rivalled in our lifetime.
Lance Armstrong
Survived a public battle with cancer, and went on to win the Tour De France.
Multiple times.
RichardBranson
A high-school drop out who has built one
of the most identifiable brands in
the world.
BarackObama
More Americans than ever in history turned out to vote in 2008.
And they voted for Barack Obama.
What are the similarities between these Alpha Leaders?

Work Ethic
Would these Alpha Leaders be as effective in a different role or time?
Their battles and victories inspire.
Words do them no justice.
They are once in a generation.
They are Alpha Leaders.
Please comment and tell me who your #1 Alpha Leader is and why.
