Depending on your role and influence within the organization you may or may not be able to alter the circumstances in which case you have a tough choice to make – do you stay or do you go? While these articles tended to stir the pot a bit, they were in my opinion mostly missing the mark. Thanks for your characteristic thoughtfulness.

Leaders who don’t understand the value of distributable and actionable knowledge not only limit opportunities, but they’re also building huge contingent operating liabilities. It’s one thing to possess knowledge, but it’s quite another thing to leverage it.

Creating a framework for decisioning, using a published delegation of authority statement, encouraging sound business practices in collaboration, team building, leadership development, and talent management will all help avoid conflicts. If so, you likely have issues with conflict. I Think Not.

I was casually reading the results of a survey on the topic of hiring methodologies last weekend when one particular survey question really caught my attention: “When considering a new hire, what is the one characteristic or attribute of the candidate that would most influence your hiring decision?

A leader simply operates at their best when they understand their ability to influence is much more fruitful than their ability to control. Controlling leaders operate in a world of addition and subtraction, while the calculus of a leader who understands surrender is built on exponential multiplication.

Rarely will you come across a static opportunity in the sense that it will stand idle and wait for you to act…Significant opportunities are not only scarce, but they typically operate on the principal of diminishing returns.

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. So the real question is this…how does a CEO get to the point of being so disconnected from operations that he or she just doesn’t have a clue? I Think Not.

You’ll find confident leaders have broader spheres of influence, attract better talent, engender more confidence, and earn more loyalty and respect than do those that lead with solely with their chutzpa. I think not. While confidence can be mistaken for arrogance, and vice-versa, they are clearly not interchangeable terms.

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.

It’s at the C-suite level an executive must be on top of his/her game as they have the broadest sphere of influence, the largest ability to impact a business, and they also now have the most at risk. Forget span of control and think span of influence. Control is about power – not leadership.

If you crush the individual character and spirit of those who form your team, how can your team operate at its best?

The strongest teams don’t weed out or neutralize individual tendencies, they capitalize on them.
