W HAT SEPARATES a poor or a good leader from a great leader? Let me make the argument that a primary distinguishing factor is in how leaders see, interpret, and think about the situations that they encounter. To do so, consider four situations leaders can find themselves in: Challenge and failure. Disagreement with a subordinate. Having to make a decision that involves risk.

Not all leaders aspire to the executive level, but lots of them do. And some aim even higher.

I’ve spent at least the last five years trying to achieve a completely paperless office, and you know what? I don’t think it’s entirely possible. You see, I’ve come to the realisation that there’s always going to be some form of paper in an office. A note from a colleague, an unexpected letter from a supplier, or the hastily-printed agenda for the next meeting won’t vanish.

I never knew what to say when they stopped by. It didn’t matter if they asked “How’s your day?” or “What’s the latest and greatest about our big project?” All they got from me were blank stares and bumbling responses.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

How many times a day do you think a leader is asked, “Got a minute?”. The answer is often—more often than you’d think. When you have work to be done and goals to be met and tasks to finish, it’s easy to view a steady stream of people asking “ Got a minute?” as intrusive and unwelcome. Any interruption can throw you off task and cause you to lose momentum, and after several of them resentment can set in.
