takeaways of note:

Avoid 4 Leadership Traps, in particular:

1. Taking a Narrow View . . . instead, pull back & take in mid-ground & background; take a broad view of challenges & opps.

2. Getting Seduced by Managing . . . instead, take the long view; anticipate what comes next week, next month, and even next year in order to prepare for the changes ahead.

3. Over-centralizing the Response . . . instead, seek order rather than control.

4. Forgetting the Human Factors . . .instead, unite people in their efforts and goals as valued members of a cohesive team.
