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.

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?

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 act of operating in the truest best interest of others is the issue. By treating "love" as a verb and as such being actionable and intentional in its application, leaders can be more purposeful and consistent. Thanks for the astute observations Mark.

If you crush the individual character and spirit of those who form your team, how can your team operate at its best? As much as some don’t want to hear this, there is an “I&# in team because teams are comprised of individuals. The strongest teams don’t weed out or neutralize individual tendencies, they capitalize on them.

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?
