Ask yourself this question…Who is more loyal; an employee who has been with the company a long time but is an under-performer, or a less tenured employee who always goes the extra mile and consistently exceeds expectations? the company is not leveraging its true talent base.

For many companies, employees are expected to complete given tasks or processes because 'that's what we've always done' But if we focus instead on what the purpose is behind our efforts, suddenly it matters less if we're efficient in doing it if it ultimately contributes little to our organization's objectives.

Okay, so you founded the company, but does that mean you should also be the chief executive? Perhaps you were the right person for the job initially, but has the company outgrown your management ability? As the founder, can you, or should you, attempt to grow with the company? CEO…that title sounds good doesn’t it?

My advice to CEOs, regardless of whether you’re running a start-up or a Fortune 500 company, is to go see things for yourself. 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.
