Larry D. Lauer

What you don’t want in any leader!!

1. A president or CEO who has no understanding of what the founders of your institution or country had in mind.
2. Thus, has no vision for how to build an exciting future out of why it already is truly exceptional.
3. Has an authoritarian and/or unethical personal history… and always required constant praise.
4. Or always assembles a management team that is willing to support him or her no matter what.
5. Or uses a leadership style based on fanning fear… dividing people into hostile groups.
6. Or uses cruel language with the intent to intimidate critics and adversaries.
7. Or refuses to use allies to build mutually beneficial partnerships… believing that only he or she has the answers.
8. Or is most comfortable in the company of autocrats and dictators… and whose own behavior reflects it.
9. Or who uses constant lying to confuse news reports… and also divert the public’s attention.
10. Or who won’t embrace the research, scientific findings, and advice of established experts.
