Yes, I Can See For Miles..
Leaders are not always out in front. Sometimes one has to step back, observe and evaluate to see the real picture. Do this often, as in daily.
Open thine eyes and be amazed at what is before you..

Yes It is For Life.
Great leaders do not turn their leadership on and off when they go home, relax or other activities. It is part of who they are and exhibit those behaviors and actions everywhere.

Delegation, Accountability Grows Others..
Accountability is paramount in delegation. If the project goes wrong, ask instead of tell, get the employee to explain the why, how, what, why of it instead of you chewing them out. They will be more self-correcting from now on.
Be strong and have the tough conversations now, it will pay dividends…

Leadership Tip #30 Rewards
Offering a “reward” when delegating can be a two edge sword. Never give a raise/reward before the end results are proven. This fosters “entitlement” that has little value versus “accomplishment” which has life long outcomes.
Plan well, be rewarded well..
