Corner Office: Good Leaders Know People — Including Oneself
Choosing the right people for the right jobs and overcoming the personal distance created by a leader's title can make the difference between success and failure.
Good CEOs realize that unless we have people with the right gifts around us, we will fail. Hopefully, we recognize this earlier in our careers. Inexperienced leaders can be particularly tempted to make the mistake of thinking, "I got here because I'm smart and I'm capable, and since there's nobody more capable than I am, I'll just do all this work myself." Making the transition to leadership means moving from being a doer to being a coach of those who do.
