Why Not Talk About Failure? In Leadership (from Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich")

The 10 Major Causes of Failure in Leadership - as described in "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill

Sometimes, knowing what not to do is as important as knowing what to do. In his book "Think and Grow Rich", Napoleon Hill presents a list of the 10 Major Causes of Failure in Leadership:

1. Inability to organize details
2. Unwillingness to render humble service
3. Expectation of pay for what they "know" instead of what they do with that which they know
4. Fear of competition from followers
5. Lack of imagination
6. Selfishness
7. Intemperance
8. Disloyalty
9. Emphasis of the "authority" of leadership
10. Emphasis of title

Dr. Hill outlines these points in more detail in his famous book "Think and Grow Rich". See there chapter 7, "Organized Planning: The Crystallization of Desire into Action".
