This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Leadership has always been and always will be a crucial ingredient in the success of any organization. The sky can be the limit with the right person at the helm. But settle for second best and such dizzy heights will invariably remain a distant dream. As for identifying that right person, the folks at Teledyne would surely regard Henry E. Singleton as ticking all the appropriate boxes. The late co‐founder unquestionably played a huge role in the company's growth to become a leading provider of sophisticated electronic technologies for use within a range of different sectors. Given that he kept such a low profile, the most immediate response to questions about this leader might be “Henry who”? But first impressions can be deceiving of course and Singleton's inconspicuous approach did not prevent him enjoying greater success than many of his more publically‐acclaimed counterparts.

Practical implications

Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to‐digest format.
