This Week's Opening Thought: October 17, 2022

in

This week’s opening thought: one of your responsibilities as a leader is not to surround yourself with carbon copies but with people who bring new ideas to the table and will challenge you to evolve and listen to differing perspectives.

Groupthink does not generate progress.

If you’re a leader and your inner circle rarely or never calls you in, disputes your opinions, or offers alternative ideas and concepts that differ from your thoughts?

It says much more about you and where the company is headed with you as its leader than it does them.

Look at the culture you’ve cultivated. How could one expect anything more?
