Realize that many of the "balances" that need to be faced are different from team to team and you as a leader must practice and hone your skills to improve them. 1. Not seeing positives in others 2. Not making time for your team and providing clear and candid feedback 3. Not realizing what really motivates each individual on their team 4. Blame others for everything 5.

Balancing socializing with your employees without becoming too friendly. 10. Failure to provide and track definable and attainable goals 11. Leading by example 12. Not delegating
