If you’ve got someone on your team who is clearly a star but regularly disrupts the chi and makes life difficult for others on the team, you’ve got a tough problem as a manager.

Making sound decisions is a skill set that needs to be developed like any other. Show me someone who hasn’t made a bad decision and I’ll show you someone who is either not being honest, or someone who avoids decisioning at all costs, which by the way, constitutes a bad decision. They make bad decisions.

This is so much the case that some CEOs will avoid restructuring initiatives at all costs. Give me real leaders who possess courage, vision, and a bias toward action, and spare me the timidity of mediocre managers posing as leaders. The mere discussion of corporate reengineering can cause fear, anxiety, and in some cases even panic.

I think it gives you a solid world-view that tempers your expectations, avoids disappointment, and permits development of realistic goals.
