Leadership  Myth

One of the leadership  myths is an orientation toward data rather than the capacity to be decisive, together with the illusion that if only we had known enough, then we could do it or fix anything, and it's adverse -  we failed because we did not use the right technique


Conceptually stuck systems cannot become unstuck by simply trying harder


  The second leadership myth is an orientation toward empathy rather than responsibility with a focus on weakness rather than strength and on ways to avoid personal responsibility

  

Whenever an organization is driven by anxiety, what will also always be present is a failure of nerve among its leaders. When anxiety reaches certain thresholds even the most learned ideas can begin to function as superstitions.
