Are you Trusting the Wrong People

To be a good leader, you must discern whom you can trust and whom you cannot. The wrong people will keep you from succeeding. Here are six dangerous character flaws you must watch out for in those you are trusting:
1. Rarely do what they say they will
2. They push the work back onto you
3. They are late and unreliable and do not apologize
4. When asked to do something, they tell you they are too busy
5. They continually reject your ideas either vocally or by nonperformance
6. They do not volunteer to help when the pressure is on

Leadership traits of the great military geniuses of History

1. They showed decisiveness
2. They delegated authority
3. They executed bold plans
4. They replaced hesitation with action

5 things that cant be recaptured

1. The stone after it is thrown
2. The word after it is said
3. The deed after it is done
4. The occasion after it’s passed
5. The time after it’s gone

THE DNA OF GOOD DECISIONS

1. Good decisions come from being able to say “I don’t know”
You cannot learn when you are pretending to know it all
2. Good decisions come from asking the right questions
3. Good decisions do not come from consensus
Input is necessary, but in the end, a leader must make the call
4. Good decisions come from eternal awareness
Great organizations are internally driven but externally aware
5. Good decisions come from never fearing a wrong decision
Statistics tell us even huge decisions account for maybe six out of a hundred points on the organizations scale of success or failure.
6. Good decisions come from thinking long term
Great leaders think the next quarter century not just the next quarter
7. You can make mistakes and still prevail
