Sometimes you learn from positive role models. Often you learn from negative ones. This is one of the reasons I love to read history\u2014you invariably see both.<\/p>\n\n

After watching Steven Spielberg\u2019s Lincoln<\/a><\/em>, I decided to reread Team of Rivals<\/a><\/em> by Doris Kearns Goodwin. It is a page-turning account of Abraham Lincoln\u2019s presidency and his political genius.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of Lincoln\u2019s first term, he appointed each of his former Republican rivals\u2014those who had run against him for his party\u2019s nomination\u2014to cabinet posts. The narrative demonstrates his amazing ability to tap into a broad array of perspectives and create alignment among those who often disagreed violently with one another.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Lincoln's leadership was not perfect. He occasionally selected men for public service who were unworthy of his trust. One such individual was Gen. George B. McClellan<\/a>, commander of the Army of the Potomac and, eventually, first general-in-chief of the Union Army.<\/p>\n\n

McClellan had significant character flaws that can serve as warning signs to anyone in leadership. Ultimately, these cost him dearly: He lost Lincoln\u2019s confidence, his job, and a run for the White House (against Lincoln). Worse, his missteps prolonged the Civil War and cost the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides of the conflict.<\/p>\n

I want to share five flaws I noted in McClellan as I read Goodwin\u2019s book. These characteristics practically define what it means to be a weak leader. And the list doubles as a convenient self-evaluation tool if you want to avoid becoming one.<\/p>\n

1. Hesitating to Take Definitive Action<\/h3>\n

McClellan was constantly preparing. According to him, the Army was never quite ready. The troops just needed a little more training. In his procrastination, he refused to engage the enemy, even when he clearly had the advantage. He could just not bring himself to launch an attack. When Lincoln finally relieved him of his duties, he famously said, \u201cIf General McClellan does not want to use the army, I would like to borrow it for a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

I meet people all the time who seem to be forever preparing. They\u2019d like to launch a new product, find another job, write their first book\u2014but they just can\u2019t seem to pull the trigger.<\/p>\n

One of the most important leadership qualities you can develop is practicing the art of the start. Perfectionism is the mother of procrastination. You\u2019re never going to find the perfect time or the perfect circumstances or be totally prepared. At some point you have to kick into action.<\/p>\n

What is it you need to do that you\u2019ve been procrastinating: a difficult conversation, a project to approve, a person to fire, a call to make? Whatever the next step, just do it.<\/p>\n

2. Complaining About Insufficient Resources<\/h3>\n

McClellan constantly complained about the lack of available resources. He didn\u2019t have enough men. His men weren\u2019t paid enough. They didn\u2019t have enough heavy artillery. On and on he went.<\/p>\n

Leaders who do this never get very far. I don\u2019t care if you own your own business, lead a department in a major corporation, or head a nonprofit. You\u2019re in place to deliver an outcome, and your job is to figure out how to get the resources or make do without them.<\/p>\n

The truth is that, as a leader, you never<\/em> have enough resources. You could always use more of one thing or another. But successful leaders figure out how to get the job done with whatever resources they have. How?<\/p>\n

By using the one thing you possess that is potentially unlimited: your imagination. Ultimately, there is no such thing as insufficient resources; there are only unresourceful people.<\/p>\n

3. Refusing to Take Responsibility<\/h3>\n

McClellan blamed everyone else for his mistakes and his own refusal to act. He even blamed the president. Every time he suffered a defeat or a setback, someone or something was to blame. He was a master finger-pointer. Great leaders don\u2019t do this. They are accountable for the results and accept full responsibility for the outcomes.<\/p>\n

Once, a consultant asked me about my company\u2019s financial performance. We missed the target for that month, and I blamed the economy. \u201cI get it, the environment is tough,\u201d she responded, \u201cBut let\u2019s be honest. It\u2019s always tough, right? Michael, what is it about your leadership that led to this outcome?\u201d<\/p>\n

Whoa!<\/em> I instantly felt defensive, but she helped me along. \u201cAs long as the problem is out there, you can\u2019t fix it. You\u2019re just a victim. I\u2019m not trying to shame you; I\u2019m trying to empower you. You can\u2019t change your results until you accept full responsibility for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S. Navy SEALs Jocko Willink and Leif Babin call this extreme ownership<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you accept responsibility, you can change the result. You may not control the circumstances you\u2019re in, but you do control your response. Changing the result is as simple (or as hard) as changing your response. Imagine how different your family, church, company, or even the country could be if everyone took personal responsibility for their outcomes.<\/p>\n

4. Abusing the Privileges of Leadership<\/h3>\n

While his troops were struggling in almost unbearable conditions, McClellan lived in near-royal splendor. He spent almost every evening entertaining guests with elaborate dinners and parties. He insisted on the best clothes and accommodations. His lifestyle\u2014underwritten by taxpayers\u2014stood in distinct contrast to that of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, McClellan\u2019s eventual successor.<\/p>\n

Leadership is first and foremost a stewardship, as Andy Stanley says. We never hold it for ourselves; we hold it on behalf of someone else. If you\u2019re in a position of leadership, it\u2019s to serve. And guess what? You\u2019re accountable. If you abuse it, you\u2019ll eventually lose it, as Gen. McClellan did.<\/p>\n

As a leader of a company, here\u2019s how I look at potential actions and decisions. \u201cIf a reporter or a private investigator were following me around, how would the choices I am making today appear if they were on the front page of The Wall Street Journal<\/em>?\u201d Our bad decisions have a funny way of coming to light, and, as a leader, you need to live with that prospect in clear view.<\/p>\n

5. Engaging in Acts of Insubordination<\/h3>\n

McClellan openly and continually criticized his boss, President Lincoln, by being passive-aggressive. Even when Lincoln gave him a direct order, McClellan found a way to avoid obeying it. In his arrogance, he always knew better than the president and had a ready excuse to rationalize his lack of follow-through.<\/p>\n

Criticizing your boss in public? Never a good idea<\/em>. As Solomon advised thousands of years ago, \u201cDo not curse the king, even in your thought; do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; for a bird of the air may carry your voice, and a bird in flight may tell the matter.\u201d People in authority will eventually find out what you\u2019ve said, and when they do, don\u2019t be surprised if you get fired. You were asking for it.<\/p>\n

If you disagree with your boss\u2019s direction and feel deeply about it, then confront in private or resign. This really comes down a matter of integrity. Even if your boss is incompetent, you have the duty to respect him or her. If you can\u2019t do that, you need to resign. Speaking out publicly while you\u2019re still employed is just not an option. And it\u2019s not very smart.<\/p>\n

Lincoln had the patience of Job. He gave McClellan numerous opportunities to correct his behavior and redeem himself. But in the end, McClellan either could not or would not do so. He left the president no choice but to relieve him of his duties.<\/p>\n

The lesson has been lost on leaders in later generations. Both Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Gen. Stanley McChrystal lost their jobs for insubordination too.<\/p>\n

Look up or down the line of command in many organizations, and it\u2019s easy to see these five character flaws afflict many leaders today. If you're a leader, the best safeguard against them is self-awareness. Reading books like Team of Rivals<\/a><\/em>, or just reviewing a list like this can give you critical insight about your own behaviors.<\/p>\n

And once you see your weaknesses clearly, you can build the corresponding strengths into your character and your leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
