Arnold Glasow on a Good Leader

   When you are dealing with your team, you must always instill a sense of hope. You should never let them know that the odds are insurmountable. We remember Napoleon as a tyrant, but he was a much loved leader for a very long time.

   Similar to other leaders, Glasow keeps it straight and honest. Leaders have to take the brunt of the failure. The good news is that when you take that hit, your team will have even more respect for you.

   Here’s another phrase you can use with those you are leading. You can give your team this as part of their mantra. If they don’t keep the end in mind, they will lose focus. Always keep the end in mind so that you know where you’re going.

   It’s important to manage. However, don’t get confused and micromanage. You have to trust your team to do things right. You must focus your efforts on doing the right things. In all situations, you must focus on the big picture.
