I’ve been privileged to work with and observe many different senior leaders. There is one particular CEO that stands out because of what he didn’t say.
A leader is very much like a mother or father, fielding requests, ideas, and well thought out proposals day in and day out. While those making the pitch are hoping for a yes the answer is often no, and for very good reasons.
You know that old saying that when you assume you make an “ass” of “u” and “me”. Well, I’ve come to learn that this is an understatement. See how assumptions can be damaging and how to avoid making them.
