They must overcome discomfort, and commit to their goals and vision. Unfortunately, far too many leaders that I have come into contact with confuse leadership with coronation. Many of them are thin skinned and far too personally needy, and this interferes with their ability to become top notch leaders. ... are concerns for those expressing these concerns. The best leaders realize that objections are really positive things, because anyone who voices and objection, at least actively, instead of passively listens to a situation. Leaders, like effective sales people, know how to expertly defuse and answer these objections. 4. Sales and leadership both involve motivating people to action.

... . Then, a true leader, explains his expectations, and clearly defines the task being delegated. He gives the individual a timetable, and reviews the "action plan." Built into effectively delegating is to monitor and have regular reporting in terms of both progress and any issues that have arisen. Often, those that confuse effective delegation with simply "passing the buck" state that they don't want to step on toes, or intrude, and are "hands off." That is certainly not true leadership, nor how effectively delegating is supposed to work! ... them. The difficulty often arises because of the trend and tendency of many organizations to insufficiently train at all levels of leadership. It is almost "laughable" what many organizations that at least try to train leaders do, and the results and dearth of true leadership is often the inevitable result. The first challenge is to get the existing leadership to accept that a leadership training program is important. Then, the real challenge is getting them to permit someone to develop professionally a true leadership training program, that fully addresses the organizations needs, from the location and qualification origins, to training up and coming/ potential leaders ...

... One of the biggest errors made by many of those in leadership positions is what I often refer to as being "leadership myopic." Leadership myopia is the condition where someone only sees a situation from a very narrow and one- sighted perspective, often not taking into consideration others points of view or perspectives. Anais Nin wrote, "We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are." When leaders overlook the points of view of others, including their concerns, needs, and opinions, organizations often suffer. Many leaders seem to confuse the need to make decisions and take action in a timely ... of his own biases, or preferences, while he should have made those decisions by taking the larger view. 4. Effective negotiating, an essential part of great leadership, requires understanding others needs so that you know what to ask for, and what others might be willing to be more or less flexible about. There are so many examples in leadership situations where it is essential to be open- minded, and open ones self to the thoughts, needs, and concerns of others. When someone in a leadership position permits his own biases and views to be "the only views," it invariably creates misunderstanding and disconcert.

Strategy is your plan of attack. Tactics are the actions required to execute that plan. Never confuse strategy with tactics.

Managing their staff directly - without going through the manager - should also be avoided, as it could confuse workloads and mess with a manager's plans. It may be hard for someone who used to control everything, but business owners should understand that managers should be given space to make their own decisions, with influence and guidance, instead of being told exactly how they should manage.
