Taken from an article on Leadership by Dave Anderson in Oct edition of Dealer Magazine
Seduction is defined as: enticing someone from the right behavior; to lure or entice away from duties, principles or proper conduct.
Seduction #3: Leaders are seduced by tolerance.
Hollywood, the media and political correctness will wrongly convince you that you should tolerate just about anything today; and not doing so makes you hateful or harsh.
However, both your culture and personal leadership is largely defined by the presence of absolutes, and by what you refuse to tolerate. In a strong culture there still is right and wrong; winning and losing; success and failure, as well as consequences that accompany bad behavior and poor performance.
Remedy: Find and eliminate gray areas for performance and behavior shortfalls with clearer expectations and consequences for failure. Be specific and follow through.
