What leadership mistakes run organizations off cliffs as certainly as a brake failure will run a car into a brick wall? And why to do leaders make those mistakes over and over again? According to Stephen Balzac, consultant and author of "The 36-Hour Course in Organizational Development," there are ten mistakes that leaders make over and over. The good news is that very few leaders make all of these mistakes. The bad news is that this is because the company usually doesn't survive long enough for the leader to make them all. Two of the most egregious errors are trying to run a business like Mr. Spock commands the Enterprise, and letting their own fear infect the team. If the leader looks scared or lacks confidence, who else will be confident?
