There were other recent experiences that impacted his ability to effectively lead. While the author makes some good points, I believe that the way in which he ties them to history with regard to McClellan's actions are stretching it a bit at times. On another note, insubordination is not necessarily the mark of a bad leader. Many of the legends of the Marine Corps that we view as heroes of our history (Pappy Boyington, Smedley Butler, Lou Diamond, etc...) were chronically insubordinate.

Yes, I think arrogance creates many blind spots and it leads an individual to begin to believe his/her own press to the point that they will not listen or accept another person's point of view or suggestions, which in turn discourages those following and it obstructs their own potential to become leaders themselves.

This has made me pinpoint exactly the opportunity I am having with someone who works for me. They fit into every one of your indicators. Isn't it wonderful that Leadership principles remain unchanged after hundreds of years? Thank you for your insight. Dallas Very relevant post and right on point.

I have found #2 particularly tempting the last year. While the economic situation (both in terms of the culture and the organization) is overwhelming at times, it does not help to focus on this. Thanks for the reminder. Michael– A very good post! I have found #2 particularly tempting the last year.

And maybe this is why some people don't get promoted who think they should. You should always be the type of follower you would like to lead.

I see most of these qualities in my own life. I've know for a long time that I enjoy planning. I always have, even as a young child. I love to plan but when it comes to execution, see items #1 and #2. Gratefully, I don't believe I suffer from #3-5. I don't say that out of pride, but more from relief. Still I'm not sure which is worse. Thanks for this post. Great reminder and wake up call. Michael, wonderful post. I see most of these qualities in my own life.

Gratefully, I don't believe I suffer from #3-5. I don't say that out of pride, but more from relief. Still I'm not sure which is worse.

Thanks for this post. Great reminder and wake up call.

On a side note, why wasn't History this intriguing when I was in High School? Love your thoughts on leadership.

There are a number of blog entries that could have come out of it. Of the qualities you listed in the article, I struggle with complaints around a lack of resources most. In my own mind, I frequently second guess other leaders at my level in the organization with stewardship of their budget and think I could do so much more if I had a piece of their pie also. I'm trying to take the approach currently that I will receive more resources as I make the most of what I have right now without outwardly complaining.

At least you can see the problems and correct them. From what I can tell, McClellan had zero self-awareness. In his arrogance, he was willing to focus on everyone else’s problems rather than his own.
