* TIME MANAGEMENT – Do you know how to get up to 2 hours back each day by avoiding time traps?
* FAVORITISM – Do you always have lunch with the same group of employees?
* COMMUNICATION – Do you take time to talk with your employees? Do you understand their role in the company?
* VALUES – Do you allow your employees to “break the rules” here and there?
* WEAK LINKS – Do you get rid of the dead weight or do you allow complacency?
* DEATH BY MEETING – Do your meetings bore you to tears? Are they effective?
* ACCOUNTABILITY – Do you take the heat or do you pass the buck?
* VISION – Do your employees know where the company will be in five years?
