4 Things That Can Break a
Leader
Avoid
these actions, or risk weakening your leadership.

One
doesn’t need to look far or wide to find what leading entrepreneurs and
business executives do to make their companies so profitable, innovative and
successful. But what about all the things they avoid doing? Like kryptonite to
Superman, some activities are poison to the head honcho at any business. Here
are four things that smart leaders avoid at all costs.
• Attempting
to make perfect decisions: “Paralysis by analysis” is a serious shortcoming for many CEOs. The
mentality that you can never have enough data will only hold your company back.
• Wearing
too many hats: Smart
leaders do not build companies that revolve entirely around themselves. No one
person can be an expert in every facet of a business. Know your specialty and
stick to it.
• Attending
all meetings: It can
be a growth experience to have a subordinate attend a meeting in your place and
then brief you on what occurred. And it saves time.
• Under-communicate: Good leaders do the opposite.
Executives should not be afraid to over-communicate the same message multiple
times; providing the same information via different channels increases the likelihood
that employees will actually remember what you tell them.
