Leaders: Avoid These Fatal Flaws

Posted on by

Leaders need to be confident, decisive, and willing to take risks, but these same traits can quickly become liabilities if they are taken to extremes. Positive characteristics such as optimism, confidence, and intelligence can turn into delusion, arrogance, and unhealthy competitiveness if left unchecked.

Today, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time (12 noon Eastern) Master Certified Coach Madeleine Homan Blanchard will be conducting a free webinar exploring some of the common ways that otherwise successful executives derail their careers.  Participants will learn how to help themselves and others identify and moderate behavior to be more effective as a leader. Over 1,400 people have registered for complimentary event, but there are still a few seats available for last minute attendees.  Follow this link to learn more, Leaders: Avoid These Fatal Flaws
