17 Things Real Leaders Never Say

Avoid using these sayings when addressing your teammates in any work environment.

When poor leaders make it into the general and flag officer ranks, it can really be destructive to the military profession and unit effectiveness. It’s no different in the civilian world where people are even less likely to point out that the emperor has no clothes for fear of losing their job. Below are 17 sayings from senior leaders demonstrating poor leadership that I overheard as an aide-de-camp for three well-known successful generals. People who habitually say these things or act in this manner can send organizations hurtling in the wrong direction unless there was a very strong team of soldiers, noncommissioned officers, and junior officers to keep the unit on track despite their failing commander.

I've used number 9 a bit too often and when I shouldn't.

My version of number 6 is "Watch and learn." BUT they watch once, then I expect them to be able to do it - perfectly.  :tongue2:
