Blair Singer delivers a short motivational message on leadership, arguing that many well-intentioned leaders unintentionally train their teams to fail by (1) distorting rather than communicating, (2) dictating rather than facilitating, and (3) disabling rather than transforming through micromanagement. He calls leaders to self-assess whether they are communicators, facilitators, and transformers — or “distorter addicts.”

You think you're building a strong team, but you actually may be training them to fail. That's right. Most leaders have good intentions, but what's happening is they're doing three things that are probably training their team how to fail. In other words, most leaders feel like they're great communicators, but they're actually maybe better distorters. In other words, when they get done talking, people are more confused than to begin with. That's not great communication. Second of all, they think that they're great facilitators when in actual fact, they're not pulling information from their teams, they're dictating. They're not facilitators, they're dictators. And number three, everybody wants to transform their team and have them transform. But what I find is that leaders that care a lot, they're actually not transformers. They're disablers. Disablers. They're doing too much. They're micromanaging. They're trying to help too much and not letting people learn their lessons. So think about those things. Are you a good communicator, facilitator, transformer, or are you a distorter addict?
