ENOUGH ABOUT HOW TO SUCCEED... HERE IS THE 10 STEP SURE-FIRE RECIPE FOR LEADERSHIP FAILURE (from High Impact Mentoring, available on Amazon) A failed (or failing) leader shows one or more of these fatal flaws: 1.     Self-promotion (“It’s all about me!”) 2.     Arrogance (“You and your ideas don’t count!”) 3.     Abrasive style (“My way or the highway!”) 4.     Sloppiness (in behavior, dress, planning, analysis) 5.     Naivete (“But he said he would…”) 6.     Dishonesty (“Though I was taught “thou shalt not," I’m doing it anyway!”)  7.     Uncontrollably bad temper (This is the greatest employee turnover generator.) 8.     Insecurity (“What can I do to make you like me?”) 9.     Immaturity (“Can you believe the way he acted?”) 10.  Poor grammar and profanity (A great distraction to effective communication) 11.  Inability to handle money (If you can’t handle your money, why should I let you get close to mine?)

📖 This is a must-read book for any Business person who wants to trully understand Amazon's approach to culture, leadership, and best practices from two long-time, top-level Amazon executives who worked closely with Jeff Bezos since 1998. ✍️ My favorite Part 2 is “The Invention Machine at Work.” Chapters describe the development of Kindle, Prime, Prime Video, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Each chapter is an example of how the principles and practices outlined in Part 1 guided product development in a real situation. 👇 Below one of my favorite highlights. Imagine being in a meeting room with Bezos and participating in such conversations.

Just read this lines from Amazon Best seller, "Unlock the Hidden Leader, Become The Leader you were destined to Be" "When people make mistakes, the last thing they need is discipline. It's time for encouragement and confidence building. The job at this point is to restore self-confidence. I think "piling on" when someone is down is one of the worst things any of us can do" - Jack Welch Mistakes will happen; it is inevitable; what differentiate average organizations from a great ones is when errors are made, our action shifts from doing the right thing to covering our behinds in many instances. Pointing fingers rather than accepting personal responsibility, hiding errors rather than fixing them, and allowing minor problems to become big ones because they're inadequately addressed. Remember that mistakes are vital to our growth, we often put way too much pressure on ourselves to seek some unrealistic ideal of perfection. As a leader, let your team know that there's no shame in making mistakes, and you have their back when they happen rather than telling on every instance that you also have to answer someone. People in leadership positions duck and throw their people under the bus when mistakes happen, and this leads to mistrust, lack of inspiration and the fear of trying anything new. The most extraordinary people in their fields have countless mistakes, they didn't give up. They persevered and inspired many people to follow their example; as Albert Einstein puts it, a person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF HUMAN! 😊
