Too Few Data Points
"Too few data points". That was a client's description of a leader in her group. She had just met with him to get to know him and to discuss her own career. I asked her how the meeting went and she said it was "fine". She further went on to say, "I think his instincts are good. I think his values are strong. He sometimes makes poor decisions because he takes too few data points. Sort of like George Bush -- not a bad guy, just took too few data points."
Whether or not you agree with my client on George Bush is not the point here. The point is that great leaders make decisions after taking in lots of data. As I coach leaders, I see that they often go with their "gut" on decisions. The really talented leaders take lots of data points and then go with their "gut".

You can’t have trust without dependability
A client canceled a meeting today with me today. You are no doubt thinking, "So what? Happens all the time."
It happens all the time with some people. A few people never cancel. Everyone is busy.
