That is why more than 50% of leaders fail within the first 18 months. If you are going to lead, you are going to suffer. That is the reality. The good news is that leaders can learn four recurring patterns that research shows, when executed well, are indicators of leadership success. It is cruel to put a person in a leadership position and demand success when the characteristics of excellence haven\\u2019t been developed over years. Every level of development should include a focus on context, breadth, connections and choice so that future leaders are skilled in all of them before their leadership opportunity arises. The best leaders are the most predictable. Set the example before the team that you are willing to look at your weaknesses and take steps toward improvement. Successful leadership will require you to improve continually throughout your career.
