There are many leadership lessons that one can pick up from Harry Potter. These are among the lessons that Leaderonomics CEO Roshan Thiran has learned from the Harry Potter series:

  • Humility possessed by Harry Potter
  • Self-sacrifice. Harry wants nothing more than to be an ordinary boy, yet he suppresses this desire and continues to shoulder the burden of responsibility in handling the comeback of Voldemort
  • How Harry handles his team whenever they have to accomplish a mission
  • Harry’s ability to pick the right people to work with

 
Dumbledore, the headmaster, also embodies leadership in many ways.
