Most Can’t Do It All
by Miki SaxonLeaders can envision and inspire, but that doesn’t mean they can manage. Managers can motivate and lead, but that doesn’t make them visionaries. Visionaries can inspire, but not manage. Rarely can one person do it all—and that’s OK.
The solution starts when you shove your ego in your back pocket and it’s the same at every management level, be it Microsoft (think Gates and Ballmer) or the local copy shop.
Hire someone who compliments your skills, give them the correct title and status, shower them with public and private recognition, valid compensation, and sincere appreciation.

Miki,
Great post. Unfortunately, although most can’t do it all, most also won’t admit it.

Thanks, Rick. You’re right about not admitting it, but worse, even if one wants to admit it, companies and peer pressure make it almost impossible.
