The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make
(by Hans Finzel)

1. The Top-down attitude
2. Putting Paperwork before Peoplework
3. The Absence of Affirmation
4. No Room for Mavericks
5. Dictatorship in Decision-making
6. Dirty Delegation (eg. Not clear cut, not defined, and not according to ability.)
7. Communication Chaos
8. Missing the Clues of Corporate Culture (ie, doing things which irritate others and thus cause them not to respond to your leadership because you are not aware of their culture).
9. Success without Successors
10. Failure to Focus on the Future.
