A good leader should always be teaching and mentoring, in the event that he or she is not present or able.
A good leader can, and is eager to make a recommendation, and help a thing to flourish.
A good leader endeavors to, and can find the good and strengths in everyone.
A good leader encourages team building, brainstorming, and collaboration, not the formation of petty cliques.
A leader who surrounds him or herself with useful idiots, and gullible or opportunistic “Yes” men and women, is not leading. They’re building a fan club, that is under no obligation to remain loyal.
A leader who hoards information, for fear that others will benefit, or get credit, is an insecure leader, who ties the hands of those who could make timely decisions.
A leader who would rather that a thing fail completely or fall apart, unless he or she is in charge, is a cancer to an organization, and demonstrates they were never truly committed to it. It was the title, position, attention, and perks, that motivated them.
A leader who sees accountability, constructive criticism, and transparency as bad things, that must be fought against, makes one wonder about his or her previous and current business practices.
A leader who bitterly and unfairly disparages others, and sows seeds of discord, diminishes any good he or she is doing, or may have done.
