Hi there, 

I have a hard time saying "no". My highest work value is helpfulness, so I'm quick to jump in on assisting other team members, sometimes at the expense of my most critical work.

My role model for saying "no" is Prem Kumar, TINYpulse's Senior Director of Product (and a future awesome CEO). Prem's brilliant at focusing on the numbers he owns and getting stuff done. You've probably seen the effects of that in lots of great product updates. 

One of the links below covers the results of a Gartner survey of 2,800 leaders - it found that only half agreed they were "well-equipped to lead their organization in the future".

That got me thinking about leadership, and specifically, what not to do. There's plenty of advice on what leaders should be doing - but what they don't do may be just as important.
 
Cheers,

Tyler
