The following five syndromes can stunt a leader’s vision and growth, according to author John Maxwell writing in the publication Injoy Life:

1. THE “PROBLEM SOLVING” SYNDROME: More time is spent on problem solving than on leading.

2. THE “BUSY ENOUGH NOW” SYNDROME: An overload schedule restricts your ability to lead.

3. THE “NO VACANCY” SYNDROME: Contentment with the status quo prevents making room for more.

4. THE “NOSTALGIA” SYNDROME: More time goes into remembering the past than planning for the future.

5. THE “LAZARUS” SYNDROME: Too much time and energy is spent trying to resurrect dead plans and programs.

A quick evaluation of your operational style might reveal a syndrome that is robbing you of energy and success, Maxwell suggests.
