Is Your Leadership All Sizzle and No Steak?
Mike Myatt
Forbes Online

All sizzle and no steak is not a formula for leadership success. If your organization looks good, but lacks substance, then I would submit this unfortunate condition is a reflection of your leadership team. Great leadership isn’t meant to be proprietary – it’s not exclusive, but inclusive. In fact, truly great leadership cannot be contained – it’s a contagion destined to be transferred to others. Let me be clear – it’s not how a leader positions themselves that matters, it’s what they do, who they impact, and what they accomplish that matters. The reality is weak leadership really isn’t that hard to detect – it’s disengaged, aloof, arrogant, dismissive, disingenuous and self-glorifying. In today’s column I’ll share 3 observations which will help leaders focus on the steak and not the sizzle.

Stop Talking – Start Doing: Here’s the thing; Leadership is about doing – not talking. While a leader’s actions must inspire and motivate, they must also challenge and convict. Anyone can be a big thinker, but not everyone can be a deep thinker. It’s not particularly difficult to be a prolific talker, but it’s never easy to be a prolific performer. Lots of people listen, few really hear, and even fewer understand. Most people can spot a problem, few can solve them, and even fewer can see beyond the solution to the next challenge or opportunity. Anyone can be part of a team, but not everyone can contribute to a team, and fewer yet can lead a team. The best leaders transfer and distribute their vision such that it is not just owned by the balance of the organization, but it’s improved and scaled by the organization.
