10 tips from Inc - how to improve your leadership

Repost from Inc. by Steve Tobak | July 25, 2013

The success of a leader is never absolute or does not exist in a vacuum;  it is always relative to the competition.  Thus the competition is always a driver to executive leadership (having number 1 and number 2 competing vs one another develops strong business leaders especially in FCMG)

What must leaders learn to do?

1.  Promote the winners and fire the losers (reward the doers)

2.  Learn from experience (the best teacher)

3.  Engage the key stakeholders

4.  Priortize and delegate

5.  Decide smartly - avoid yes men,  do not over react, act on chizmiz, or do knee jerk decisions

6.  Always do the numbers and rely on them;

7.   Never ever give up

8.  Negotiate effectively

9.  Troubleshoot problems

10  It is odd there are only 9?
