LEADERSHIP: STOP THE HUMAN SACRIFICES

As a king, commander or leader in Ancient Greece, you'd sacrifice an animal before a major journey, battle or personal undertaking.  And, perhaps visit the priests and oracle at Delphi.  But today, decision-making is mostly more rigorous and analytical.  Planning replaces hoping.  But, not in leadership.  Many leaders still base their actions on oracular generalisations from gurus - or acolyte consultants.  And this involves human sacrifice.  Their team members may not be dead physically, but they are organisationally: frustrated, unmotivated and unfulfilled.  Sound familiar - for you as a follower or as a leader?  So, who are the sacrificial lambs in your organisation?  And, what can be done?

• Which TWO questions below would THEY say best sum up the concerns or worries holding them back?

• Which TWO organisational outcomes (that would emerge if you answered their questions) would THEY say are most absent from your leadership today?

Make sure you answer from their perspective.  Otherwise, you're still lost in a world of barbarism and human sacrifice!

It's not that difficult but few leaders do it.  And that's the gap V|E|C|T|O|R fills.  It's a proven tool, and now online - and inexpensive: a big business tool @ at small business price.  It certainly beats being hauled in front of a judge - accused of human sacrifice!
