In the end, leadership that adopts politically correct behavior and thinking places themselves and their organizations at great peril. Leadership is about telling the truth with courage, candor, honesty… and empathy. Milquetoast leadership is inoculable. Great post Mike!

The best definition I’ve found for gossip is: “Gossip is talking about a situation with somebody who is neither a part of the solution or a part of the problem.” Let me cut right to the chase – real leaders don’t participate in gossip, and likewise they don’t tolerate gossip from others.

The articles should have been written on the topic of poor leadership. Toxic work environments can only exist where a lack of trust and respect are present, and this can only occur in the absence of sound leadership.

Based on all of this, it is easy to think that you should wait your turn until you have an acceptable amount of experience, or that you are not qualified to take on a position that requires leadership skills. It’s Too Risky.

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. My own definition of vision is: Vision is knowing who you are (purpose), where you're going (picture of the future) and what will guide your journey (values).

Just having a definition for what constitutes acceptable behavior is a positive step in containing the crazies. If you’re a CEO who doesn’t leverage conflict for team building and leadership development purposes you’re missing a great opportunity. Where there is disagreement there is an inherent potential for growth and development.
