Great businesses are in constant search of improvement, innovation, change, disruption, knowledge and other strategic leverage points that lead to a competitive advantage or operational enhancement. Well actually, no it’s not. Don’t fall into the rut of allowing your business to be trapped in a perpetual state of static thinking.

Depending on your role and influence within the organization you may or may not be able to alter the circumstances in which case you have a tough choice to make – do you stay or do you go?

Rarely will you come across a static opportunity in the sense that it will stand idle and wait for you to act…Significant opportunities are not only scarce, but they typically operate on the principal of diminishing returns. So much so, that if you don’t think timing is everything - think again. I Think Not.

You’ll find confident leaders have broader spheres of influence, attract better talent, engender more confidence, and earn more loyalty and respect than do those that lead with solely with their chutzpa.

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. So the real question is this…how does a CEO get to the point of being so disconnected from operations that he or she just doesn’t have a clue?

The act of operating in the truest best interest of others is the issue. By treating "love" as a verb and as such being actionable and intentional in its application, leaders can be more purposeful and consistent. Thanks for the astute observations Mark.

Great leaders do the right thing regardless of circumstances, situational context or other influencing factors. They tend to almost be addicted to increasing their knowledge base and sphere of influence. Leaders who operate behind a veil of secrecy are only setting themselves up for a rude awakening.

Closing gaps becomes much easier when you can position differences as non-adversarial and operate within a framework of trust. If so, you likely have issues with conflict.
