Top 10 Reasons Why Most MLM Leaders Fails:

Fail To Organize Details: Efficient leadership calls for the ability to organize and master the details. No genuine leader is ever too busy to do anything which may be required of him in his capacity as a leader. When a man, whether he is a leader or follower, admits that he is "too busy" to change his plans or give attention to any emergency, he admits his inefficiency. The successful leader must be the master of all details connected with his position. That means, he must acquire the habit of dividing the tasks to capable associates. 

Unwillingness To Be Humble: Truly great leaders are willing, when occasion demands, to perform any sort of labour which they would ask another to perform. 

"The greatest among all shall be the servant of all" is a truth that all able leaders observe and respect.

The expectation of pay for what they 'Know' instead of what they do with which they know: The world does not pay men for that which they 'know'. It pays them for what they DO, or induce others to do.

Fear of competition from followers: The leader who fears that one of his followers may take his position is practically sure to realize that fear sooner or later. The able leader trains understudies to whom he may delegate, at will, any of the details of his position. Only in this way may a leader multiply himself and prepare himself to be at many places and give attention to many things at one time. It is as an eternal truth that men receive more pay for their ability to get others to perform than they could possibly earn by their own efforts. A leader may through his knowledge of his job and the magnetism of his personality, greatly increase the efficiency of others and induce them to render more service and better service than they could render without his aid. 

Lack of Imagination: Without imagination the leader is incapable of meeting emergencies and of creating plans by which to guide his followers/ associates efficiently. 

Selfishness: The leader who claims all the honour for the work of his followers, is sure to meet bitterness from his associates or followers. The really great leader claims none of the honours when there are any go to his followers because he knows that most men will work harder for commendation and recognition than they will for money alone.

Intemperance: Followers do not respect an intemperate leader. Moreover, intemperance in any of its various forms destroys the endurance and the vitality of all who indulge in it. 

Disloyalty: This should be at the top of the list probably. The leader who is not loyal to his trust and to his associates, those above him and those below him cannot long maintain his leadership. Disloyal marks one as being less than the dust of the earth, and brings down on one's head the contempt he deserves. Lack of loyalty is one of the major causes of failure in every walk of life.

The emphasis of the 'Authority' of leadership: The efficient leader leads by encouraging, not trying to instil fear in the hearts of his followers. with his authority comes within the category of leadership through FORCE. If a leader is a  true leader, he will have no need to advertise that fact except by his conduct - his sympathy, understanding, fairness and a demonstration that he knows his job.

The Emphasis Of Title: the competent leader requires no 'title' to give him the respect of his followers. The man who makes too much over his title generally has little else to emphasize. The doors to the office of the real leader are always open to all who wish to enter, and his working quarters are free from formality or ostentation.

These are the common causes of failure in leadership in network marketing or MLM industry. Any one of these faults is sufficient to cause failure. Study the list carefully if do not want to fail or aspire to be a successful leader, and make sure you're free of these mistakes.
