What Leadership Demands

I am constantly trying to work on my leadership skills and as I was reading this blog by Shane Duffey from New Spring Church I totally felt that these either applied to me now or have applied to me in the past.  I think at some point we all wrestle through these:

Ten things that can tempt and bring death to a leader:

1. Focus on personal advancement instead of team success.
2. Shift blame to others instead of absorbing it yourself.
3. Avoiding a hard conversation because you might not be liked afterwards.
4. Wanting to be heard instead of trying to listen.
5. Delegating to the point of being unaware.
6. Make decisions that please people instead of the right ones.
7. Delaying tough decisions under the disguise of needing more information.
8. Always acting like you know all the answers.
9. Never seek advice or wisdom for fear of appearing incapable of your role.
10. Believe you’ve learned all there is to know about what you do.
