10. The ‘pits’ into which we fall

11. Pit #1 Being too ‘nice’, trying to please
everybody
• You want associates to
know you care but you • ___________________
___________________
must be real and not
lose focus of what the
___________________
outcome needs to be.
• ___________________
• If associates are not
___________________
living up to their
___________________
expectations you must
___________________
hold them accountable.
• Encouragement is good • ___________________
but you do not want to
___________________
be known as a figure
___________________
head with no spine.

12. Pit #2 Not letting go and “delegating”…
There are usually three
motives to not delegating:
•You have issues with trust
•You like having all the
control and having everyone
come to you
•You are afraid if everyone
can function without you
there will be no need for you

14. Pit #4 Non accessible … poor follow through…
Closed doors prevent
opportunities to ‘catch
someone doing
something right’ and
they create ‘silos’!
Accountability and
Communication flows
both ways!

and full of self!
‘which one of you
would agree to use
a parachute from a
parachute company
that boast 98%
quality guarantee?’

16. • A successful leader knows when they start to
think ‘things will always remain the same’ they
are headed down a disastrous road.
• A successful leader is never content with status
quo they are always looking for ways to
improve things for the whole.
• They thrive on challenges and in meeting those
challenges.
“You are never too old to set another goal
or to dream a new dream.” -- C. S. Lewis

17. biggest pit of all… Pride!
Pride cometh before a fall!
•Never forget where you
came from… you did not get
where you are alone.
•It takes all parts of the body
to make the body function
well.
•Everyone is but a day away
from possibly losing
everything.
•Speak well of the company
you work for…
