The Leadership Lid

Have you ever heard of the Leadership Lid? Have you ever been in a company, on a team, in an organization, etc. that has so much potential but can't seem to get over the hump? Many times that is a result of your leader and the Leadership Lid. Your leader either can't lead you to the next level or is scared. Example is McDonald's, the McDonald brothers started the company and took it to one level then Ray Kroc bought the rights and he turned McD's into a mulit-billion dollar company. Then there was Google whose founders realized they did not have what it took to take Google to where they needed to go. They went out and partnered with someone that knew the financial side and could take them beyond there own capabilities. Now they are all billionaires. What does this mean? I say know your limitations and compensate for them by stepping out of your comfort zone, bring in talent that you can partner with and then take your team, business, organization, etc. to another level - a level you never thought possible.
