Bumps make you grow!

Here is a list I found on 20 mistakes leaders make. Hope it helps you grow:

1. Holding grudges
2. Withholding an apology
3. Demanding what you should earn
4. Hording knowledge
5. Refusing to delegate
6. Delegating tasks without explaining vision
7. Allowing weaknesses in one area of person’s life to obscure their strengths in another
8. Clinging to Power rather than giving it
9. Saying yes when you mean no
10. Talking too much, deciding too slow, and doing too little
11. Making statements before asking questions
12. Adding minor corrections or improvements to another’s work
13. Making assumptions without information
14. Getting even
15. Blaming others rather than taking responsibility
16. Putting off tough conversations
17. Failure to establish clear deliverables that include milestones and deadlines
18. Accepting mediocrity
19. Mistaking busy for effective
20. Pretending you know when you don’t.

There are plenty more but this is a good start.
