Leadership -- What's the Best Way

Don't be a monarch. Thoughtful leadership likely means you already have a talented work force in place. That's terrific. But be careful not set up a throne room in the process. Accidental leaders often inadvertently establish a system, of guidance that's unnecessarily restrictive. Guide employees, but don't implement more parameters than are absolutely necessary. "It's important to influence people with whom you work," Lorraine Segil, author and consultant at CIT. "Don't see your business as a hierarchy."
