Sometimes it is easy to spot the difference between a leadership bad habit and a good one. Take communication.

This is a great excuse for racing to the bottom. Corporations with power go ahead and take advantage of customers. “Well, if we don’t do it, a competitor will.” The public markets don’t require companies to throw out their principles to succeed.
