Do You Flitter or Do You Lead?
Flitter or Lead?
• Many so-called leaders don’t lead at all, they flitter from this to that.
• From one crisis to another.
• From one priority to another.
• They don’t land on anything.
• They chase.
• They are captured by activity; busyness.
Flitter or Lead?
• They move quickly from issue to issue avoiding any chance of
getting pinned down.
• They measure the worth of the hours they put in by the
calories they burn.
• They run toward whatever their boss says is important. And
they run AWAY from issues their subordinates claim are critical.
Flitter or Lead?
• They are skin deep, with a shallow perspective on the issues of the day.
• They have no opinion of substance.
• They can’t give direction.• They are never physically present; always on the go attending
“business lunches” and meetings with their
Flitting colleagues.
• They are completely reactive with no proactive bone in their body.
Flitter or Lead?
• I reported to the VP Marketing at one point in my career, and he was a Flitterer extraordinaire.
• A nice enough person, but not someone you could go to for specific direction.
• Always passing my proposals on Marketing programs on to the
President for his opinion before approving me to take action.
• Virtually zero value added from his position.
Flitter or Lead?
• An open valve in the decision making conduit of the organization.
• They are everywhere.
• Observe your own behavior. Be honest with yourself.
• Make sure you don’t practice Flittership under the guise of leadership.
