Success often lead to a series of deadly behavior, so the leader often need timely "alarm" to remind yourself. An eminent leader should be detached from the daily trifles to overcome temptations which implied.
All leaders have failed if it failed, they tend to blame the boring cause, such as strategic mistake, not full of marketing, competitive threats and technology failures, etc. However, these are only a problem of representation, all the leaders have committed the same fundamental errors: yielding to the temptation for some, thereby unnecessarily complicate the situation; too some details of the damage to the personal leadership skills, etc. If leaders do not want to face and overcome these temptations, so they had done, will reset the success of the Organization would like to risk. Specifically, we talk about temptation is: select status instead of work results; select personal prestige rather than selecting the correct decision responsibility; rather clearly indicates; selective surface harmony rather than conflict; select no-compromise instead of trust.
Temptation: select status instead of the results of the work
For a Manager, you must clear the most important principle is to take the results as the goal. However, in many companies, the evaluation of the highest managers tend to not do so. Many leading to something other than work more important. This represents the most dangerous temptations: want to protect their professional status. However the problem is that if a person is not seeking results "paranoia", how he could become a company of leadership? for example, most CEOs in the highest positions before all is the pursuit of results of the "paranoid". Unfortunately, when they reach the target, to be known as the CEO thereafter, many of them will give attention to how to maintain their status. The reason is that their real goal is to obtain personal benefit. Standing at the top of goal in life is, of course, only on the downhill road. They fail because a reasonable inference that they once had the highest Office, it will stop at nothing to protect it. It is precisely because of this, cause many CEOs and most managers make decisions to protect their interests or reputation.
What is more, they also avoid making may damage its status. Actual performance, they tend to reward those who help them "self", rather than contribute to company performance. Managers are not made from concentrate, and outcome for higher status and greater "self", as that seems to require long-term, intensive work, during this process will generate too much can lead to danger of loss of status of the episode.
To overcome this temptation approach is to work as a personal success in the most important standards. They led the company's future, both for employees or customers are very important, that's what really decides their status of metrics.
Temptation two: select a personal prestige and not a liability
Even if some leadership against the first temptation, they sometimes or failed, the reason is they don't promote staff responsible for his own responsibility, but this just is a sine qua non for achieving results. At this point, the leader who yield to another temptation: want your own welcome.
Wish I were employees welcome is human, but to lead, but is dangerous. They do not know, leadership can sometimes be "lonely". The majority of the members of the company, the Supreme Leader in addition to those who report directly to him, it is difficult to have more time with the company everyone is familiar with. In this way, the majority of leadership and those who report directly to their job became friends, and their needs and weaknesses often can feel them. Finally, due to the huge task currently, leadership and the subordinate Brotherhood of producing the "between" feeling.
