Lose the haughty, superior or overbearing attitude.
Has nothing to do with whipping people from behind, urging them to get or keep going.
Rather, leadership, is about going out in front, setting the pace and inviting your team to follow you.
Also careful not to get to far ahead, you may discover when you look back that no one is following you.
The other end of the spectrum is the indecisive leadership style, which is not really leadership at all. This could be because you have left the discipline of planning behind and opted to go for a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants philosophy.
So instead of being out front, leading, you lag behind, hoping your team will not move ahead too rapidly. Worse than that, you may actually serve as brakes when your team wants to put their dreams into action.
What do you think when you leave leadership to others? Probably go on paths not intended for your team or even giant circles - spinning your wheels rather than progressing.
