I’m a huge advocate of refining initiatives that allow any level of talent to be developed to the maximum potential. Leaders and non-leaders alike need career-pathing, training and development. I’m just not a believer in attempting to label someone as a leader, and develop them as such when they are clearly not.

The prior are often footnotes.

There are many so-called management gurus in today’s politically correct world who would take great exception to what I’m putting forth in today’s post.

Perhaps you were the right person for the job initially, but has the company outgrown your management ability? Priority number two is team building and talent management. Did you bestow the title upon yourself simply because you had the authority to do so, or are you the right person for the job? What does a CEO really do anyway?

Should the traits mentioned above be more formally cultivated in leadership development programs? And there’s no professional development without personal development… In this case, I suspect those leaders who find it difficult to express their compassion publicly could do so with some developmental work.
