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. Trust me when I tell you that being out of touch is never a good position to find yourself in as the CEO.

A CEO’s ability to perform effectively is so closely tied to their ability to form a clearly articulated vision, evangelize the vision and then to execute on their vision, that no real discussion on executive leadership should take place without an emphasis on vision.

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. Furthermore, a business plan, strategic plan, marketing plan, capital formation plan, exit plan, etc., are also not business models.

If your organization confuses loyalty and tenure there is trouble on the horizon…If your business rates tenure higher than performance as a measure for employee evaluation, it is time for you to consider updating your talent management practices and procedures. In principle very little; but in practice virtually everything.

As much as you may wish it wasn’t so, as a CEO you’re really only as good as your last decision. As a person that works with CEOs and entrepreneurs on a daily basis I can tell you with great certainty that all leaders are not created equal when it comes to the competency of their decisioning skills. They make bad decisions.

Here’s the thing – leaders who allow toxic personalities to invade their culture put the health of their entire organization at risk.

Just like an algebraic formula, business also functions according to rules governing order of operations. My premise was that business logic is similar to the logic used in solving mathematical equations - if you attempt to solve a problem out of sequence it will result in a flawed outcome.

I fear for these senior leaders and their organizations. Don’t think for a second that leaders throughout the organization don’t notice the absence of discussion about c-suite development and learning. Encourage learning throughout the organization. The fact of the matter is that we all need to continue to learn.

While the emotional distress associated with gossip can be dealt with fairly easily, the political discord that can erupt in an organization can be nothing short of disastrous. Gossip destroys trust, undermines credibility, and is one of the greatest adversaries of a healthy corporate culture.

The focus of these short-sighted bean counters incorrectly place cost savings ahead of the customer experience. In short, most CRM practitioners have traditionally assumed an internal (inside-out), operationally centric approach to customer management and strategy.

I’m often regarded as a thought leader, but I don’t run an organization, and don’t have any desire to. When you’re the boss your suggestions become orders, all your jokes are funny, and the higher you climb in an organization the more your ego gets stroked. Marshall Goldsmith : Not to be a leader. Not everyone should be a leader.

Think about it…when was the last time you viewed a negative soundbite of a CEO who was engaged in active listening? Organizations can no longer guarantee work and careers, even if they want to. A key point for all leaders to consider is that it’s impossible to stick your foot in your mouth when it’s closed.

Here’s the thing…you really don’t need to work too hard to identify leaders within an organization – they are the ones taking on the greatest levels of responsibility and delivering on their commitments. They are the ones that put the needs of others, as well as the needs of the organization, ahead of their own.

Leaders that wait until a problem occurs to deal with it place themselves and their organization at a huge strategic disadvantage.

I’m always amazed at the number of organizations that charge sub-par leaders with mission critical tasks and then wonder why they failed to meet their objectives. Furthermore, in well run organizations you can determine which initiatives are most important to the enterprise by examining which leaders are tasked to what initiatives.
