The Leader’s Inner Circle
In: Leadership
29 Jan 2009Something that I have learned is that a leader’s potential is determined by those closest to him or her.
I read an incredible article about this by John Maxwell the other day. Below is the summary version. When you get time, go read the full version HERE.
Questions to Ask of Candidates for Your Inner Circle:
- Do they display exemplary character in everything they do?
- Do they bring complementary gifts to the table?
- Do they hold a strategic position and have influence within the organization?
- Do they add value to the organization and to the leader?
- Do they positively impact other members of the inner circle?
Traps to Avoid when Staffing Your Inner Circle:
- Soliciting praise instead of candor.
- Driving away talent so that your power isn’t threatened.
