Long story short; if a leader receives a vote of non-confidence from their subordinates…game over. Only those leaders who can quickly recognize and adapt their methods to the situation at hand will be successful over the long haul.

If you crush the individual character and spirit of those who form your team, how can your team operate at its best? The sad fact is that many business people are absolutists in that they only see things in terms of rights and wrongs. The strongest teams don’t weed out or neutralize individual tendencies, they capitalize on them.

I really don’t have a problem with increasing efficiency so long as the tail doesn’t start wagging the dog. Clearly this endeavor will take time, and may not yield immediate results, but the payoff organizationally, relationally, culturally, and in terms of future contribution can be huge. Bottom line…check your motivations.

Many times it is simply because companies have been doing the same things, in the same ways, and for the same reasons for so long, that they struggle with the concept of change.

The reason this is such a great question is that I’ve witnessed far too many executives confuse vision and mission in terms of both definition and application. Just like an algebraic formula, business also functions according to rules governing order of operations.

If a leader’s primary obligation is for the care and well being of those under their charge, then I would suggest that you cannot be an effective leader over the long-term without love, compassion and empathy. The act of operating in the truest best interest of others is the issue. Thanks for the astute observations Mark.
