While confidence can be mistaken for arrogance, and vice-versa, they are clearly not interchangeable terms. I think not. When you think of yourself as a leader do you view yourself as having the quiet confidence of David or the boastful arrogance of Goliath?

Ask yourself this question…Who is more loyal; an employee who has been with the company a long time but is an under-performer, or a less tenured employee who always goes the extra mile and consistently exceeds expectations? or implying that it is unlikely to have high performance if most people stick around for a long time?

Talent is clearly a plus as long as it is a value add and not a business requirement. If your company’s long-term business plan requires the acquisition, or retention of the uber employee then your business not only has a risk management issue, but it is likely not scalable.

Long story short; if a leader receives a vote of non-confidence from their subordinates…game over. Only those leaders who can quickly recognize and adapt their methods to the situation at hand will be successful over the long haul. Any leader is only as good as his or her team’s desire to be led by them.

I really don’t have a problem with increasing efficiency so long as the tail doesn’t start wagging the dog.

Bottom line…check your motivations.

The sad fact is that many business people are absolutists in that they only see things in terms of rights and wrongs. Thinking in terms of “ my way &# is right and therefore “ other ways &# are wrong is the basis for polarizing any relationship, which quickly results in converting discussions into power struggles.

If a leader’s primary obligation is for the care and well being of those under their charge, then I would suggest that you cannot be an effective leader over the long-term without love, compassion and empathy. It’s as if such an act would tarnish their reputation forever by making them appear weak.

Many times it is simply because companies have been doing the same things, in the same ways, and for the same reasons for so long, that they struggle with the concept of change. So why do so many established and often well managed companies struggle with disruptive innovation? or my personal favorite, “We need to focus on our core business.”
