By Mike Myatt, Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth When you closely examine the core characteristics of what really makes for great leadership, it’s not power, title, authority or even technical competency that distinguishes truly great leaders. Rather it’s the ability to both earn and keep the loyalty and trust of those whom they lead that sets [.

Just about everyone has the famous book “ The Joy of Cooking ” in his or her pantries. Many a novice cook (like me, for instance) has poured through its pages looking for the perfect recipe for a roasted chicken, a rack of lamb, or some other grand culinary creation. Or to just figure out how to hard-boil an egg (yes, I did that). And, every time I link “joy” and “cooking” together, I think of the late Julia Child.

One of the difficult parts of implementing change is that what really needs to change is not as it appears on the surface. What you initially think you are changing is usually only a part of the complete picture. There are multiple layers – aspects of the organization and the people who make it up – that need to also change in order to achieve the change at the surface.

If you do, you have what I refer to as &# hero leader syndrome.&# Any leader’s belief that he or she can do everything better than anyone else (even if it’s true) is a root cause of inhibiting workforce productivity.

By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth. It’s one thing to possess knowledge, but it’s quite another thing to leverage it. Leaders who don’t understand the value of distributable and actionable knowledge not only limit opportunities, but they’re also building huge contingent operating liabilities. One of great challenges for any leader is to break down cultural tendencies that foster silo-centric thought patterns.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Goldilocks…… I’ve done a lot of budgeting, planning, and goal setting over the course of my career. I started as a CPA back in 1982, and was always pretty handy around a spreadsheet (even when they were just 12-column green pads). There is certainly a science to looking into the future, and trying to predict where a business is going to go.

If you’re willing to strip away all the excuses, explanations, rationalizations, and justifications for business failures, and be really honest in your analysis, you’ll find only one plausible reason - poor leadership. I’ve often said that real leaders refuse to take the credit for success, but they will always accept responsibility for failures.
