Leadership Thought #245 – Leaders Are Paid To Make the Hard Decisions
Leadership is very rarely about doing what's easy. If the decision ends up on your desk it typically means no one else can or should be making it. As Harry Truman was fond of saying, "the buck stops here." If you are delegating properly, then your people will feel empowered to step up and make most day to day decisions.

There is this overriding sense that it is better to fit in than be different - which is nonsense and direct pathway to personal malaise and/or unhappiness.
Leadership Thought #425 – 10 Ways To Ensure Your Business Success As A Leader
