The 6 major causes of failure in LEADERSHIP [BY NAPOLEON HILL]

The 6 major causes of failure in LEADERSHIP [BY NAPOLEON HILL]

 

We are taking this topic because it is just as essential to know what not to do as leadership.

1)     INABILITY TO ORGANISE DETAILS: Efficient leadership calls for ability to organize and to master details. No genuine leader is ever ‘too busy’ to do anything which may be required as a leader. The successful leader must be the master of all details connected with the position. That means of course, that the habit of delegating details to capable lieutenants must be acquired.

 

2)     UNWILLINGNESS TO RENDER HUMBLE SERVICE: Truly great leaders are willing, when occasion demands, to perform any sort of labour that they would ask another to perform. ‘the greatest among all shall be the servant of all’ is a truth that all able leaders observe and respect.

 

3)     EXPECTATION OF PAY FOR WHAT THEY KNOW INSTEAD OF WHAT THEY DO WITH WHAT THEY KNOW.: the world does not pay for what people know. It pays them for what they do, or induce others to do.

 

 

4)     FEAR OF COMPETITION FROM FOLLOWERS. The leader who fears that one of his followers may take his position is practically sure to realize that fear sooner or later. Able leaders train understudies to whom they may delegate at will

 

5)     LACK OF IMAGINATION: Without imagination, leader are incapable of meeting emergencies, and of creating plans by which to guide followers efficiently.

 

 

6)     DISLOYALTY: Perhaps this should have to come at the head of the list. Leaders who are not loyal to their trust and to their associates cannot long maintain their leadership.
