Going Nowhere

You Know You Are Not A Leader When:

  1. You’re waiting on more staff and more money to accomplish your vision.
  2. You think you need to use your authority to influence others into action.
  3. You’re content.
  4. You tend to foster division instead of consensus.
  5. You’re more concerned about voicing your opinion than listening to the opinion of others.
  6. You enjoy “voicing your opinion.”
  7. You find it easier to blame others for your circumstance than to take personal responsibility for finding a solution.
  8. It’s been some time since you have said, “I messed up” or “I am sorry.”
  9. You’re driven by tasks, instead of relationships and a vision.
  10. Your dreams are so small, people think they can be achieved.
  11. Few people are choosing, or excited, to follow you.
