4. Learn To Admit Fault
I'm not speaking about any particular decisions here; rather the general ability to recognize when something isn't working, take responsibility for it and adapt to move forward. It's an essential asset any good business leader should have and it appears to be absent from the WWE front office. One of the most pivotal moments in the history of the entire industry is the fables 1996 meeting where Vince McMahon sat his staff down and told them that what they'd been doing wasn't working and it was time to go in a different direction. He owned up to being out of the loop and called on hands on deck to ask for ideas, freeing up the talent for input. I'm not sure if it's an ego thing or what, and it doesn't even need to be a public admission - in fact it'd be silly if it was. But for the people in charge to come forward and take responsibility for the declining ratings and overall fan apathy would be a good step in regaining the confidence of the roster who are giving their all to try and get things back on track.
