Lack of leadership - warning signs!
If you hear yourself speaking the following words, time to review your leadership strategy
“Nobody does it better…..than me!”
A fairly unlikely scenario I would have thought - remember as the chinese proverb goes, when I sit in the company of three, one or the other have something to teach me.
“I cannot afford to hire a specialist in a key area.”
Rephrase - you cannot afford not to. Many entrepreneurs start out with a fantastic idea in their mind, their specialist area is production, but lack in other key areas as marketing, finance etc. When you recruit the right person, they will more than pay for themselves in time.
Which brings me onto the following….
“They are too confident, I am not comfortable in their presence.”
Oftentimes your uncomfortableness is down to your insecurity. Remember people like each other that are like each other. So oftentimes they will recruit people that don’t challenge them - the safe bet! To survive and thrive at the highest level, you need to move outside your comfort zone and experience and learn from pain. Recruit talent even at the cost of personal pain! The pain will dissipate when you see the results.
Control isn’t good as Lenin said.
Leadership Lesson
