It is hard to let go of your children. It is hard when you realize they don t need you as much as they used to. In a way, employees and managers can be like children. They are looking for support, looking for guidance. Today it is imperative to train and develop all people at all levels so they can become leaders-not just technical training.
Leadership is a strategic weapon and essential to all business strategies.
My experience as a leader and a consultant to leaders has made one thing very clear. It is lonely at the top. Isolation, rapid change, customer demands are constant companions. People may not tell you what you need to know. People may tell you only what they think you want to hear.
