I have no idea. If I knew, I would be a better leader than I am. Granted at work I am only a leader of four people and they are all excellent at their jobs so it makes my job easy. Still, having said that, if I could be better I would be better.
If I can’t give you something that makes you a good leader, I can give you something that makes you a friggin’ pain in the ass leader. Simple: Don’t micromanage. Ugh, working for a micromanager is infuriating. Seriously. I mean, I don’t know if this is true at all, but it’s what I heard, Jimmy Carter is a great man but he was a shitty President though. Why? Rumor has it he was a bit of a micromanager. If that’s true, it’s got to be the reason why his presidency went down the one-term crapper.
If you want to be a good leader, don’t be a micromanager.
Micromanagers are THE WORST!

Ever notice the ones who say “I don’t like to micromanage” are almost always the worst offenders?

He’s an amazing human being. Maybe the best of us all. Maybe in order to be a good president you can’t also be a good person.
