Do You Flitter or Do You Lead?

Flitter or Lead?

• Many so-called leaders don’t lead at all, they flitter from this to that.

• From one crisis to another.

• From one priority to another.

• They don’t land on anything.

• They chase.

• They are captured by activity; busyness.

Flitter or Lead?

• They move quickly from issue to issue avoiding any chance of

getting pinned down.

• They measure the worth of the hours they put in by the

calories they burn.

• They run toward whatever their boss says is important. And

they run AWAY from issues their subordinates claim are critical.

Flitter or Lead?

• They are skin deep, with a shallow perspective on the issues of the day.

• They have no opinion of substance.

• They can’t give direction.• They are never physically present; always on the go attending

“business lunches” and meetings with their

Flitting colleagues.

• They are completely reactive with no proactive bone in their body.

Flitter or Lead?

• I reported to the VP Marketing at one point in my career, and he was a Flitterer extraordinaire. 

• A nice enough person, but not someone you could go to for specific direction.

• Always passing my proposals on Marketing programs on to the

President for his opinion before approving me to take action.

• Virtually zero value added from his position.

Flitter or Lead?

• An open valve in the decision making conduit of the organization.

• They are everywhere.

• Observe your own behavior. Be honest with yourself.

• Make sure you don’t practice Flittership under the guise of leadership.
