Most of you who have been following this blog know that I’ve been an a strong evangelist of social media, and perhaps even more so of blogging for several years now. By any category analysis or analytical standard blogging has obviously developed into a powerful communication medium.

Not recognizing, developing, and rewarding talent is the fastest way I know of to drive talent out of your organization and directly into the hands of your competition. These silos are staffed with legions of “tenured&# COBOL and C++ programmers, as well as &# tenured&# IT managers overseeing the operation.

In today’s post I’ll quickly examine the merits of developing your listening skills. Listen to those that confront you, challenge you, stretch you, and develop you. Take a moment and reflect back on any great leader that comes to mind…you’ll find that they are very adept at reading between the lines.

Making sound decisions is a skill set that needs to be developed like any other. They make bad decisions. And in some cases they compound bad decision upon bad decision. However while it may take years of solid decision making to reach the boardroom, it often times only takes one bad decision to fall from the ivory tower.

Developing effective conflict resolution skill sets are an essential component of a building a sustainable business model. If so, you likely have issues with conflict. The only thing worse than what I’ve just described is leadership that doesn’t recognize it and/or does nothing about it.

to Mike Myatt for his blog “Confidence vs. Arrogance.” I think not. While confidence can be mistaken for arrogance, and vice-versa, they are clearly not interchangeable terms. While arrogance is a display of inferiority complex and sometime for most the men its the little boy within us threatening our confidence due to childhood experience.

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.

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.

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.
