If you’ve signed up for our newsletter you’ve received the “7 Deadly Sins of Leadership”. The seventh sin is “Use Rumor and Innuendo For Decision Making…Ignore Facts and Logic”. We’ve built a successful consulting business by guiding our clients to make all decisions based on facts and logic. Think about it, makes complete sense doesn’t it? Then why do so many people make the mistake of honoring rumors and selective opinions when making decisions? Could be that they are guided by emotion, low confidence, over confidence…the list goes on.
Whatever the reason, get rid of it. When you are faced with decisions the very first question you should ask yourself is, “what are the facts and logic of the situation?” Do your research to answer this question honestly. Don’t let one or two people tell you what is going on in your organization. Dig deep and get to the truth before you make decisions. Build a reputation of being a reasonable and great leader by letting facts and logic guide you. You will earn more respect as a wise decision maker if you avoid the seventh sin.
To your continued success,
Rob Linn and Rich Ottaviano
