You’ve got a bold vision and a strategy to achieve it! But why does your company seem to be standing still? Why is the gap between what strategy promises and what it delivers so vast and disheartening? And what to do about it?

There are good leaders and there are bad leaders and I'm sure you can name

a bunch of names in either category.

The thing that's easily overlooked is that good leaders aren't just better

than bad leaders, but that both sit on opposite sides of a spectrum.

It's not that bad leaders are similar to good leaders, just

not as good or less effective.

Bad leaders are the opposite of good leaders.

They can destroy the morale of a team and frustrate the members to

a degree that leads to struggles and fights, greed and envy.

Good leaders don't do things similarly to bad leaders, just better.

They do things differently.

Here's the pitfall because there's one thing that both

kinds of leaders have in common.

Both lead by example, by the things they do and in the way they communicate.

Leaders make or break a team.

The important thing to see is that that's a decision.

You decide what kind of leader you want to be.

And then, when you have clarity about your vision of leadership, it

becomes a skill that you can improve.
