Leadership is fundamentally about one life influencing another.  And the impact of this influence can be positive and robust when done from a position of noble intent or can be destructive if done from a malicious or self-serving perspective.  The choice of which viewpoint informs your leadership is, of course, your choice.

Every organization is perfectly structured, perfectly organized, perfectly staffed, and perfectly led to obtain the results it is currently getting.  Therefore, to get different results you have to change one of those things.

At the heart of leadership accountability is the principle that there are no bad teams, there are only bad leaders.  So, if you don’t like what is going on in your team – you have to look at yourself in the mirror first to understand what you did to cause these results – and then look to the person in the mirror for the solution (that is a change in attitude, behaviours, or actions)
