1. Restricted leaders

The leader depends on the rise and fall of his organization. A person with disabilities or leadership skills will not be a clear picture of the future, or will not be the ability to "infect" her subordinates.

French Prime Minister once said, "To accomplish great things, should attract great people. From small people usually only problem. " He paused, shook his head and continued, "We have a great many problems."

 

2. People who think concretely

English writer George Bernard Shaw said: "There are people who see what is and ask," Why? "(A person who thinks concretely). And I dream of what never was, and I say, "Why not?" (A person who thinks creatively). "

In one series of the popular comic strip Charlie Brown said her friend Lucy, pointing to his hands: "One day these hands mogug do great things. These hands can create wonderful things. They can build beautiful bridges, heal the sick, or to write an exciting story. Maybe someday these hands will change the fate of the whole country! ".

Lucy, who always think concretely and see just what it is, said, "Your hands are smeared with jam!".

 

3. Dogmatists

How often dream does not become a reality due to the fact that on her way to get up convinced dogma. A person can be absolutely sure of anything at all was only in two cases: either he knows all about the subject, or do not know anything. In most cases, the dogmatists do not know anything or do not know everything, but make sure the application.

"Everything that could be invented has been invented." This phrase was uttered in 1899 by none other than Charles Duell, director of the U.S. Patent Office!

Of course, he was not alone. In 1905, U.S. President Grover Cleveland declared that "prudent and responsible women do not want to participate in the elections." Nobel Laureate in Physics Robert Mil-Liken in 1923, said: "It is incredible that a man could ever release the energy of the atom." Lord Kelvin, President of the Royal Society of London (Science) in 1885, said: "It is impossible to create a flying machine that would be heavier than air."

 

4. People accustomed to defeat

Many, remembering their former defeat, afraid to dream and take risks. Their motto is: "If you fail the first time, destroy all reminders of a failed attempt." Stopping themselves, these people are trying to stop the others and do not give them another try.

 

5. Satisfied

The pursuit of comfort, predictability and stability - is normal. But here lies the danger: after the comfort comes complacency, followed by predictable - boredom, followed by stability - the lack of vision of the future. Nest - the best place for the egg or chick, but grown-fledged birds have nothing to sit up there, where there is no place for flight. What a pity that people often want to sit in the nest all his life.

Article Lynn Anderson, published in the journal «Leadership», I found a great example of what happens when people lose their vision of the future. About 370 years ago, a group of pilgrims landed on the American shore. People boldly about the future, and the future envisioned them great. With this in mind, they laid the first settlement of Europeans in a strange land. In the first year they built a village to the next - elected city council. A year later, members of the council proposed to build a road five miles long, deepening in the uninhabited land towards the west. But the settlers decided to lead the way in the forest - a waste of money, and demanded the resignation of the government. So people whose eyes had just been able to cross the ocean, has failed to look at five miles beyond their own village!
