18 Things Leaders Need To Do More Of and Less Of!

I sent out a simple tweet asking this question: “If leaders would do more [blank] & less [blank] things would be better 4 their followers. @replies will be blogpost thx”

The responses were relatively consistent.  The Overall theme is that people would be better off if their leaders were less micro-managing and more empowering, in addition to doing less talking and more doing.

Thanks to everyone who responded.  Here are the 21 Responses:
