As we walk the path of guiding organizations to success, we need
to question whether we are successful. Too many leaders are
greatness in their own minds and they measure success merely
by business metrics. As they progress down their strategic plan,
one day they are woken to realize that their workforce in
disengaged, reacting only to commands, lack empowerment, seek
others to represent them, and are disillusioned with what success
resembles. That leader will first defend their actions and accuse
the workforce of being lazy, not motivated, and simply a reflection
of a poor work ethic that is a culture problem. They will increase
demands and employees will react slower and with resentment.
Have you ever worked for a leader like this? We all have. They
end up failing and hurting companies that take years to recover.
They are the egomaniacs of the world. Every other sentence is
“I”. They may not have started out this way but have slipped into
a false sense of self-worth and accomplishment.

Too many leaders are greatness in their own minds and they measure success merely by business metrics. As they progress down their strategic plan, one day they are woken to realize that their workforce in disengaged, reacting only to commands, lack empowerment, seek others to represent them, and are disillusioned with what success resembles.
