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.

In the competitive worlds of business and politics a reserved attitude of humility can often be misinterpreted as a sign of weakness. I think not. While confidence can be mistaken for arrogance, and vice-versa, they are clearly not interchangeable terms.

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?

As much as some don’t want to hear this, there is an “I&# in team because teams are comprised of individuals.

Leaders and non-leaders alike need career-pathing, training and development. In my opinion the practice of leadership identification is simply based upon flawed business logic, and it is make-work in the purest form. I’m a huge advocate of refining initiatives that allow any level of talent to be developed to the maximum potential.

Closing gaps becomes much easier when you can position differences as non-adversarial and operate within a framework of trust. If so, you likely have issues with conflict. The issue hasn't risen to a level of significance to merit their involvement, in which case you must get them to understand why the conflict merits their involvement.

As much as it may be politically incorrect to say so, it’s not nearly as much about the team, as it is the leader’s ability to assemble and lead the team. The most important decision a leader can make with regard to any implementation, initiative, project, objective, goal, task, etc. is who they are going to put in charge?
