5 Pieces of Practical Advice for Dealing With Missing

Pieces

Understand the Doer/Leader Distinction

Many employees simply cannot or will not step up into a position of

leadership, taking responsibility and ownership.

Trying to make a doer into a leader sets everyone up for failure

Hire for Potential and Actual

Many people need to grow into leadership effectiveness. But hire only

people who have successfully managed people and responsibility at some level.

Past is prelude

Hire for Character and Competence

Messed-up people can still do good work to some level. But they cannot lead effectively, or be trusted with

responsibility.

Inner quality beats charisma and talent at this level of leadership

Get Outside Advice

We are NOT objective about our own strengths and weaknesses, nor do we view our businesses with detachment.

Insight is often best gained from the outside

Embrace Structure

Any growing company needs structure. The org chart will evolve, but realize that you are now in the leadership acquisition/development business.

The less of the daily load you carry, the more clearly you’ll see what’s needed
