Last week, I was teaching part three of the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth at our company. As I was presenting, one topic, what came to mind is the “Do Not Do List.”. Like anyone, I often struggle as I work at overcoming some of my weaknesses in life. This is a daily challenge and I persevere to keep at it. So I thought it would be appropriate for me to write my blog on this topic.

The leaders who move to the top of their organizations are often those who are fast paced, focused on taking action, and results-oriented. Yet those very qualities can derail leaders who don’t pay attention to the needs of the people they lead. At some point if they continue on their action-focused trajectory, these leaders who have a bias for action might find that when they turn around nobody is following them.

As I shared here last year, I was diagnosed with MS in the summer of 2009. My primary form of exercise, head clearing and general sanity maintenance before MS was distance running.

You know, someone who tells you what to do, how to do it, and when to do it? Someone who seems to have all the answers – even when they’re not asked! Don’t be surprised; you’re not alone. And, worse yet, not only do leaders often assume the know-it-all position, many of us work with people who think they know everything. It is epidemic. This style of leadership is based on the old model of “authoritative leader” in which the leader plays the role of “boss” and tells employees what to do and how

One thing I learned in obtaining a master’s in leadership is defining leadership is difficult. John Maxwell says, “Leadership is influence.” I love that simple definition. Simple works. Its effective and communicates. Still, I have observed leadership is often not easy to define as a few simple words. In fact, there are many myths when it comes to even what leadership means.

HBR STAFF. Many people and a host of commentators instinctively recoiled at the callous management practices described in a scathing New York Times article last month about Amazon. So did Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s founder and chief executive. In a memo to Amazon employees, he wrote, “Our tolerance for any such lack of empathy needs to be zero.” He’s right, not only on humanitarian grounds but also for reasons that should appeal to a hard-headed businessman like him.

For an individual, that’s one thing. But what happens when a team or an organization hangs in the balance? I’ve become convinced that fear is the single factor most capable of derailing a leader’s effectiveness.

In health care, value accrues to patients, insurers, and society at large.

For example, a patient considering back surgery for disc herniation wants to know: “How much will this procedure lessen my pain and increase my mobility, when will I see improvement, and how much will this cost?
