How promising executives in large firms get derailed:
(1) Difficulty building an effective team (usually, over-manage/under-delegate)
(2) Difficulty in making transitions (get stuck in the details, don't learn to think strategically)
(3) Lack of follow-through (unkept promises)
(4) Treat people badly (seen as over-ambitious or self-centered)
(5) Over-dependent on a single strength or resource (become "the budgeting guy" or something)
(6) Strategic differences with top management ("lose" political fights, etc.)
