EXCEPTIONAL LEADERS...
Keep Things on Course
 Exceptional leaders chart the course to a successful future. They also check to make sure that things are going according to plan and make mid-course corrections when and where needed. They know that assuming that everything to going ok can lead to lots of trouble.
Exceptional leaders set up systems to insure that they are kept in the loop as things progress. This could include reports from others, in writing, personally or in meetings. It could include "management by walking around" to see how things are going.
They set up communication loops so that they are notified immediately when things are off plan. They ask questions. They hold others accountable. They reinforce expectations where needed. They bring in additional resources. They re-think things and take new approaches. They demonstrate a commitment to being successful.

you direct and re-direct others when things are breaking down and not proceeding as you expect?
- Do you take responsibility for the success of an endeavor and yet hold others accountable for execution?
- Do you get things back on track?
