10 Stupidest Leadership Mistakes

Tony Morgan outlines his 10 Stupidest Leadership Mistakes:
1. Hiring too fast and firing too slow.

2. Putting the projects before the people.

3. Trying to fix the problem rather than the process.

4. Delegating tasks instead of responsibility.

5. Assuming it's always black and white.

6. Not following my gut. (...or is that the Holy Spirit?)

7. Dwelling on the worst case scenario.

8. Waiting until there's a problem to provide feedback.

9. Staying busy.

10. Spending too much time on the details rather than the dreams.
Read the whole post for his explanations. There is much to learn here for those of us that lead people. I especially resonated with his explanation of #8. A culture of fear should not be allowed to exist, especially in the church!
