My boss couldn't pick me out of a police lineup.
In my opinion, I would not want to work for me.
If your company is facing a bankruptcy, the last thing employees want to hear is, 'Let's work on this together,' ... They want leaders who say, 'This is what we need to do.'
It's ironic to me, ... that as a boss, all of our leverage comes from our people, yet we very seldom focus on where those people are at, what their needs are and what it would take for them to excel in their performance.
He's a very effective worker, ... but he's chosen to stay out of management because he just doesn't have the temperament.
The bottom-line definition for me is that a leader is someone with followers, ... and given how tight talent is today, if you don't work to keep your followers, you will not continue to be a leader.
