The fine line between good and bad leadership.

Ordinary leaders tell their people exactly what to do - then wonder why the results aren't as good as expected.

Great leaders set clear goals and let their teams figure out how to achieve them - then marvel at the creative solutions their people come up with.

At first glance, bad leaders may seem similar to good ones. They too delegate without micromanaging.

The difference? Bad leaders push responsibilities onto their team that they should be handling themselves. And they don't provide guidance - not because they don't trust their team, but because they don't know how to do the job themselves.
