Closing gaps becomes much easier when you can position differences as non-adversarial and operate within a framework of trust. If so, you likely have issues with conflict. The issue hasn't risen to a level of significance to merit their involvement, in which case you must get them to understand why the conflict merits their involvement.

Also, a common response is to confuse a sales engine, fulfillment process, operational process, technology platform, or any number of other areas as business models, where this is not the case. Furthermore, a business plan, strategic plan, marketing plan, capital formation plan, exit plan, etc., are also not business models.

The harsh reality is that great numbers of leaders continue to operate in a vacuum by sequestering themselves away in the corner office and attempting to lead from afar.

The act of operating in the truest best interest of others is the issue. By treating "love" as a verb and as such being actionable and intentional in its application, leaders can be more purposeful and consistent. Thanks for the astute observations Mark.

Leaders and non-leaders alike need career-pathing, training and development. In my opinion the practice of leadership identification is simply based upon flawed business logic, and it is make-work in the purest form. I’m a huge advocate of refining initiatives that allow any level of talent to be developed to the maximum potential.

If you crush the individual character and spirit of those who form your team, how can your team operate at its best? This is a skill I believe many leaders do not develop until later in their careers. As much as some don’t want to hear this, there is an “I&# in team because teams are comprised of individuals.
