Enhance Your Leadership Skills

23. Hunters

Dangerous—and dangerous because their real goal is to “score”—to get another trophy (much the way a real hunter might). Sometimes predator/hunter types can perform perfectly well. But sometimes the obsession with being the best can paralyze an otherwise intelligent person.

Are you aware of the hunters around you?

Remember: Hunters can make the best leaders nothing more than a trophy.

22. Do it by The Book

This very often is a product of a strongly regulated environment such as the military. “What you’re doing can’t be done!” they exclaim, “It’s not part of any standard operating procedure!” This sort of leader can have a particularly bad influence in a creative environment.

Are you book smart or street smart?

Remember: Books can’t teach everything there is to know.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

There is always someone who knows something we don’t.

21. Knows everything—better than everyone else.

Some wonder if this is nothing more than a fake who’s too insecure to confront the reality that he can make mistakes like anyone else. The truth is most people can spot those who do know and those who only think they know.

And even if you know better—are you willing to let your followers learn?

Can you accept advice?

Remember: There is always someone who knows something we don’t.
