Being a leader means that information is coming at you from every direction. With so much information to decypher, why is it that people remember so many things that aren't so?
Leaders have to realize that they're not always getting fed the best information. Unfortunately subordinates and number crunchers want to make themselves, or the company, look the best they can . . . even at the risk of a few "fibs". And what would we rather remember - good things or bad things?
Leadership is not a title. It's an attitude. No one becomes a leader because of a name plate. It takes learning and understanding. And that means learning to be able to sort through information in order to make the best decisions. You need to learn to be able to cut through the . . . bad info, and focus on what's right. It's not always going to be good. It's not always going to be something you want to deal with. But it's a skill that will allow you to make better decisions down the road.
