Loading ...You challenge the pros, sometimes in their own backyards, because they can become complacent, lazy and a little out of touch with the latest thinking and ideas. And if you don’t stay in touch with what is happening, with the directions your market might take, or with new techniques to help you stay efficient and effective, well, you’ll find yourself in trouble. Quickly.
Leadership is not about blind obedience to anyone or anything. Leadership is often about striking out in a new direction, or knowing what elements of the ‘old’ to keep, how to use them, and what elements of the ‘new’ to adopt…
If you have a ‘yes man’ working for you, somebody is redundant. Don’t let it be you!
If you are following the pack, and not striking out on your own… I’m reminded of Apple’s iPod. They weren’t first with a portable solid state music player (I almost said MP3, but iPods usually use a different format…) But they made that market their own, and few can name another maker of similar devices…
So what can you, what should you, challenge the pros about? Where, when and how? After all, this is not about destroying a person or their reputation – what would that say about you?
Let me know how you get on!
