Nate Fick discussed his career experience with the Rockefeller Leadership Fellows on Thursday, October 8th. An important theme of this experience was the differentiation of leaders with legal versus moral authority.
Fick learned this originally in the military, where he ranked higher than more experienced officers based on his college education. His understanding of different types of authority and competence was applicable beyond the military, when he held leadership positions at a policy think tank and, currently, a venture capital technology firm.
Fick's leadership strategy is thus based in making sure his team can succeed, providing the necessary infrastructure of values and communication.
