-Great Leaders Take Cues From Reality
-++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+We all have some philosophy of life, work, politics, and so on.  One
+of the hallmarks of great leaders is that they don't get stuck in
+their own philosophical rut.  *Great leaders allow Reality to intrude
+upon their ideas.* You may have the greatest strategic vision since
+Eisenhower invaded Normandy, but if it's not getting traction, it's
+time to let Reality modify your vision and direction.
+
+You see this all the time in politics.  People get elected by clinging
+to some party or ideological definition.  They get into office and
+just cling to that ideology even when it's not remotely working.  It's
+a kind of leadership arrogance to believe that your ideas are more
+powerful than Reality.
+
+I have watched more than one organization fail because it's leaders
+clung to their vision, refused to change direction, and lost entire
+markets and new opportunities.  Ask any good investor and they'll
+tell you, "You have to shoot your dogs."  You get rid of underperforming
+investments.  Great leaders shoot their dog ideas.

 Great Leaders Are Often Lost And Lonely
 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
+Leaders carry a mantle of great responsibility.  With it comes a large
+body of information.  Leaders know things other people don't ... and
+it gets lonely.  That employee everyone is complaining about?  The
+one that used to do such good work and now is late all the time?  You
+can't tell everyone he's dying of incurable cancer.  The big merger that
+will cause you to have to RIF 20% of the workforce?  You can't say a
+word.  Great leaders understand that lonliness is a cost of leadership.
+They balance it with other behaviors like mentoring and community outreach,
+but they never complain about the burden.  It goes with the territory.
+
+Great leaders are often lost.   I once had my boss tell me, "I feel so lost
+most of the time.  All these people depend on me and I often haven't got a glue."
+That's perfect!  It's exactly where you're supposed to be.  Remember that strategic mind?
