I will briefly look at each one of these
and give you 1 or 2 ways you can prevent yourself from using it.
Deception – This is deceiving others, or shading/hiding
the truth from others. The bible says that the truth will set you free. Be
honest with those you lead. Far too often a leader will only share part of the
information. This is detrimental to getting the job done. Do the right thing by
being honest with yourself and others and you won’t fall into the deception
trap.
Hypocrisy –This is trying to be something
or someone you are not. It is also saying one thing and doing the complete
opposite. If you want to be a leader who is well respected and successful then
be yourself and if you say you will do something then do it.
Hiding True Feelings – This again speaks to
the honesty portion of each of us. However this isn’t necessarily lying, it is more
like remaining silent. Sometimes remaining silent can hurt a situation. Maybe
you know that the idea someone has will not work but you remain silent about
your feelings and apprehensions. This will hurt the project, person, team and
company. It will also look bad for you because everyone will think you don’t
have the guts to speak up. True leaders speak up. Don’t keep the great ideas to
yourself share it and help everyone be successful.
Be a true leader. Be honest with yourself
and others and do what you say you are going to do. Above all share you ideas
or your reservations about situations and you will be known as a true leader
and not a selfish one.
