Last week I had a thoughtful client ask me a question I don’t get asked very often – What makes a great leader?

Don’t you hope 2021 is a much better year than 2020? I do! It has been a challenging year that has scrambled everyone’s plans and expectations. It has ranged from the tragic loss of life to a slowing, if not complete cessation, of many businesses. While there are forces bigger than us that we can’t control, there are always things we can do to move from hoping for a better year to creating a better year for ourselves and those we lead.

There is no doubt about it – 2020 has been a challenge. And it started before COVID hit. We sailed into January believing the worst was behind us. Our dog, Boo , had survived emergency surgery in December, emerging from a twisted stomach without her spleen but with all stomach tissue intact. It was pretty much a best case scenario. We celebrated Christmas and the New Year, certain we had more time with our older, but still puppy-like, dog. .

Employees end up spinning in circles, slicing and dicing the information far beyond what is truly needed for the manager to make a decision.
