4. Own Your Problem
You may not recognize what others see
clearly – and they may hesitate to bring
it up if you’re the boss. So ask, listen,
and embrace your DADD.
You can’t read the label of the jar you’re in

5. Define Your Strong Suits
A creative/visionary leader is often
strong on some combination of product
design, sales, and/or marketing. Be the
seer, and let others be the doers.
You may be wired to lead but not manage. Own that.

6. Hire a Lieutenant
If you’re not a builder, hire a people-
and process- manager who is. Work
together on the blueprint, then hand it

Operational thinkers and doers are gold.

7. Set Direction Once A Year (ish)
Tweak here and there as you go, review
quarterly, but give a clear direction and
roadmap that non-visionaries (which
will be most of your employees) can
follow.
Innovative thinking without self-control = instability.

modest variations of your current
offerings. Don’t always be looking for
greener grass on the other side.
Your current path may be your best path, with a few minor adjustments
