'“Slow Down… You Will Get There Faster”. Fighter Pilot Saying. Too often, leaders choose to be “ Humvee leaders.” They are so worried about quickly making progress that no regard is given to intent, probability of success or the hazards encountered along the way.

'I’m often asked, “How can a leader be more productive?”, which is shorthand for: “Help! I’m sinking in quicksand here – what can I do to get all this stuff I need to get done, done?” Well, the answer isn’t in the “doing”. And, it’s not about how fast, or how well. Nope, it’s none of these. The best way to leadership productivity is simply this: Making the best selection of WHAT to do at any given moment.

'Are there questions you’re avoiding asking at work because you don’t want to know the answer? Perhaps the actions of a leader in your organization make you doubt their commitment to the change, but instead of asking where they stand, you get frustrated by their inconsistency. Or perhaps a colleague seems to be encroaching on your area, but rather than ask, you find yourself protecting your turf.

'Truth: Leadership is about influence, not position. Leadership is about one thing and one thing only: influence. Leaders use the influence they have to create positive change. The more positive change, the more influence. Go into any corporate boardroom, military garrison or government building and you’re bound to find someone who has a title and a position, but lacks the influence he or she needs to get the job done.
