It’s no longer a matter of thinking “if we can just get through this period of x”, it will all be ok, and we will go back to life as usual. Change is the new usual. And it’s not going to go away.
It’s not how we like to think of leadership. Usually, when we say the word leadership we have a positive, heroic image in mind. Nonetheless, leadership it is.
And although we may not have given the feedback, we often act as though we have. We expect the person to get better. To do things differently and then get annoyed when they don’t.
If we can understand what we implicitly believe to be leadership, we can start to challenge some of those theories. We can also work out what that means for us and our leadership style and approach.

Every single successful person I have ever spoken to cites learning more from failure than from easy success. But perfection, by its very nature doesn’t allow for those bumps or squiggles.
It’s a great story because it reminds us that when we start, we all start from the same place.
Have you ever drawn a conclusion from someone else’s behaviour or actions that is just completely incorrect? Put 2 and 2 together and got 5?
