What do actions like this say about a leader? We have all made mistakes and we have all made decisions that have negatively affected others. Some decisions must be made and others are made blindly, often with no intention of ill will. This is just a fact of business.
My hat is off to these businessmen who care enough to take off their board meeting blinders to see and get to know the people who make their organizations run.
Who are you following today? Examining those you follow is a great indicator of the leader that you will become. What qualities do you see in your leader that you wish to acquire? How will you do things differently?
