For the betrayed, sometimes the proper course of action is to file a lawsuit against the betrayer, such as when the betrayed company has investors and the betrayal involves the theft of something valuable to the health go the company.

Great points on this. Equally important, I think, is to listen for first person language. “Here’s what I decided” communicates something very different from “Here’s what we can all do”. Followers are more likely to respect and rally around a leader who considers himself part of the team, not an aloof order-giver.

First person = ego
Second person = invested in the team
Third person = disengaged, CYA mentality

Comment on One #One Priority by The Observer

Like organizations, individuals should have a number one priority. I learned the hard way that my one priorty should be Balance. With Balance one must be true to themselves. So I am rediscovering my true self to heal and achieve balance. The end result in business is that I will me a more effective leader and teamate. My contribution to the organization will be much greater. Once balance is achieved it must never be sacrificed for any endeavor. To do so would harm yourself and your organization.

Comment on One Strategy by Will Armstrong

FYI – Dave, there is a typo in your second line… “much” should be “must” –

Developing a winning strategy requires strategic thinking, strategic predictions, and big strategic decisions. Ultimately, you much choose which markets to compete in, which products and services to sell, and which geographies to explore.
