Are You Making These Leadership Mistakes?

Good performers watch poor performers get away with substandard work. They lose respect for your leadership and start questioning their own effort.
Avoiding difficult conversations

Your team feels undervalued and underdeveloped. They stop bringing ideas because they know you'll just decide any way.
Making all the decisions yourself.

Focusing only on what is wrong.

More about darrell
Over nearly four decades, I've discovered that the most effective leaders aren't the ones who put on a performance. They're the ones who learn to lead authentically—staying true to their values while developing the skills they need to make a real impact.
I've taught students weekly, mentored hundreds of emerging leaders, and seen firsthand what separates leaders who burn out from those who thrive.
I'm Obsessed With MS Flight Simulator, small dogs, and helping leaders become more effective.
