Guilty

I've committed every one of the leadership mistakes in the list below:

• Talking too much and listening too little
• Trying to "fix" the weaknesses of others rather than leveraging their strengths
• Deploying too many initiatives at one time
• Believing flattery
• Noticing only the bad stuff
• Attempting to resolve conflict through email
• Allowing uncertainty to prevent progress

As I abandoned each, slowly but surely, our results got increasingly better.

Still got work to do, but knowing what doesn't work is a good start.
