We’re all looking through the same cracked door from different angles, each of our genius drawing conclusions from our sliver of light. Together we see the truth.

4/4.Follow-through displays confidence in the decision made, mental fortitude, and most importantly integrity. Even a leader with the best of intentions will be lumped together with less credible leaders when a leader doesn't back up his decisions and promises.

3/4.The fact is, as a leader, if you say you're going to do something: do it. When decisiveness meets follow-through, you not only see results but you also collect energy. What I mean by this is that, good talent will follow a leader who completes what he sets out to do.

2/4.When a leader doesn't follow through, he loses credibility. This loss can occur in the macro, with large company-wide goals and it can occur in the micro, with the smallest of promises made to employees or customers.

🧵.Good leaders are effectively decisive. They are educated on the problem and the problem's greater landscape, which equips them to make good, clear, quick decisions. But what happens if a leader is decisive but doesn't follow through?

3/7.However, when ego consumes the leader unto becoming egocentric, there is no longer room for others. This quality doesn't play nice in team environments. A team with an egocentric leader will always limp along.

2/7.We expect some measure of ego in leadership. You could venn ego and self-confidence. We need that self-confidence. It fuels beliefs like, "I can lead." And where there are vacuums in leadership, "I should lead.".

🧵.Mentioned the other day that a leader must be authoritative. But what can happen if a leader is both authoritative and egocentric?

RT @returnstrue: 1/4.In so much that the effectiveness of a leader is the sum of his qualities, certain qualities (though they may be very….

4/4.i. vacillates.ii. wastes time on being liked (not that being liked is bad; build loving teams).iii. is not well respected.iv. struggles to incite action.v. is primed to be usurped.

3/4.While low or waning self-worth can effect leadership in several ways, when it undermines a leader's ability to be authoritative what we see is a leader who:.
