They don’t sit idly by and watch the business lose market share, suffer margin erosion, see their competitive value propositions vaporize, or watch their brand go into decline. What do great CEOs do when the business model, the strategic plan, and the revenue hurdles don’t seem to be in alignment? They make changes.

Bottom line…Don’t manipulate for personal gain, rather facilitate for mutual benefit. Take a sincere interest in the success of others, work on your likability factor, become adept at gaining commitment, develop your authority and control, and have access to things of value or scarcity and your influence with others will increase.

Not recognizing, developing, and rewarding talent is the fastest way I know of to drive talent out of your organization and directly into the hands of your competition. You see tenure is not synonymous with loyalty, but rather is more often a measure of compliance and survival. .&# the company is not leveraging its true talent base.

I’m a huge advocate of refining initiatives that allow any level of talent to be developed to the maximum potential. Leaders and non-leaders alike need career-pathing, training and development. I’m just not a believer in attempting to label someone as a leader, and develop them as such when they are clearly not.

Some 80% of government contracts are never put up for bid, and if a contract is under a certain dollar amount, government agencies are under no obligation to issue a bid notice. In addition, when your bid is the first time a government agency learns of your company, you can be sure your proposal is heading for the bottom of the pile.

Creating a framework for decisioning, using a published delegation of authority statement, encouraging sound business practices in collaboration, team building, leadership development, and talent management will all help even out the uneven.

This means you must set up the conversation for ultimate success. versus those for advice (e.g. encouragement). Feedback and advice. Not so much. give them feedback).

Lack of Feedback : If as a leader you don’t subject yourself to a 360 review process, then you are not earnestly looking for personal growth and development opportunities.
