> Every other attempt to dethrone has been too technical minded I think. You've just triggered a favorite quote of mine: "The single biggest failure of leadership is to treat adaptive challenges like technical problems." - Heifetz & Linsky [1] In this context, technical problems are not technical in the sense that we might think of (software/hardware bound), it's in fact any problem that can be solved with a certain process, given enough resources and time. However technically intimidating they might be, those problems are the easy ones. The hardest challenges however are not technical but adaptive in nature where one of the biggest hurdles is to convince people to change their behavior.
