'Confident, humble leaders take a moment to privately “applaud themselves.” There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a mini-time out to tell yourself “Wow!

'Conventional managerial wisdom says, “It doesn’t matter if they like you, as long as they respect you.” I can also hear the echo of countless bosses and mentors over the years, “You’re not here to be liked.” “If you worry about whether they like you, they won’t respect you.” I get the sentiment and, as with anything else, it’s a matter of degree.

'Great leaders have great expectations. They expect excellence and hold people accountable. Great expectations are vital, but slippery. Unarticulated expectations frustrate… you…your boss, your team, your children, your lover. “But I assumed you would.” “Why should I have to spell that out?” Unarticulated expectations are a sign of ineffective leadership.

'Whether your team is just starting up, or has the battle scars of a team fighting for results, they need to find a way to talk about the behaviors getting in their way. Great leaders look for ways to make this conversation easier. Dysfunctional behavior can be hard to talk about because it feels so personal. Many times people wait to have important difficult conversations until the issue has escalated.
