Humans are social animals. To fully optimize our potential as leaders, we need to participate in group activity and carry on active discourse with friends and foes.
1. Avoid being a “leader with a thousand helpers” (Jim Collins) by developing a team of strong co-leaders.
2. Consider that your team should be a “team of rivals” (like Lincoln) not a group of people who all share the same viewpoint and mindset.
3. Seek multiple perspectives before making any important decision. As smart as you are, you have blind spots, just like the rest of us.
4. And most importantly, actually listen to what your team and advisors are saying.
5. Consider joining a peer supervision group or CEO circle.
