Leadership should never be “ comfortable “ The leadership pool should never be tranquil. Waves are good. The great leader understands this, especially when it comes to managing a staff to successful outcomes. There’s a balancing act that needs to take place, between two ends of what I call the “Management Spectrum” One end is the “Touchy Feely” side (aka Praise and Reward).
