If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. Antoine de Saint – Exupéry

We learn from our mistakes. This is generally true.
However, there are common pitfalls managers and leaders should avoid:
- not giving good feedback
- not making time for their team
- being too “hands-off”
- being too friendly
- failing to define goals
- misunderstanding motivation
- hurrying recruitment
- not “walking the walk”, that is, not leading by example
- not delegating effectively
- misunderstanding their role.

Cameron’s article Have no enemies published on his blog Manager’s diary draws a difference between not liking someone, and having an enemy.
“You won’t get along with everyone you work with, but working with those people is one of the things that define leadership. People err in their business when they begin to think of their teammates as their foes.”

What is accountability? Here is a short story…
If you want to be the best in your organization, you have to get rid of your outdated management style.
The old command-and-control leadership is fading in favour of what might be better defined as trust-and-track method, where people are not just told what to do, but why they are doing it.

Paul Spiegelman, founder and CEO of BerylHealth, makes a list of what is “in” and what is “out”
Here are some examples:
1. Out: Micro-management – In: Empowerment
2. Out: Management by walking around the office – In: Leadership by watching and listening
3. Out: Pretending you know everything – In: Knowing your leadership team members and trusting them.
And many more…
