Seasoned Executives Confess Their Rookie Mistakes
Recommendation
Consultant Mike McHargue reports that leaders’ most common errors include managing meetings poorly, making dictatorial decisions, hiring and firing badly, and failing to provide negative feedback and clarify company values, priorities, and purpose. In his book, experienced leaders offer lessons learned: Hire talent slowly and fire underperformers quickly. Solicit and share feedback. Clarify the purpose and results of meetings. McHargue’s storytelling format enlivens these frontline experiences and highlights top leaders’ hard-won advice.
