It was 2006. What the latest book recommended by Harvard Business Review said and what popular leaders proclaimed. My CFO just fired the 4th person he hired, within a year of hiring them. Now, his entire team had turned over 3 times in as many years. Yet, the executive team felt he was getting positive results.

My final suggestion is that you take the time to review all mission critical plans to insure that the proper contingency plans have been put into place. Make sure that advance warning signs for potential failures are identified and understood so that you have plenty of runway in front of you to implement your contingency plans.

Not reviewing the progress. When you don’t review the progress periodically, you loose momentum. Projects generally start on a high note – keep the momentum going by periodic reviews. Review early and often. Say no, so that you can say yes to more important stuff. Run away from fears. In fact, leaders embrace their fears.

In early October of 2006, the Army unveiled its replacement slogan: “Army Strong.” Be it a squad, flight, platoon, company, squadron, battalion or wing, no one who chooses to wear the uniform of the nation ever feels as though they fight alone. Eventually, senior military leaders recognized the “Army of One” slogan missed the mark.
