Dude, he spent 3 paragraphs on Petreaus. The whole article is 50 paragraphs. Petraeus may be a bad example but the article itself is good. Try not to completely derail the substance by fixating on one mistaken example.
The TLDR is - in order to escape group think and develop an original, authentic, foresightful understanding of our world, we need periods of solitude and reflection (and essentially forms of deep work though he doesn’t use that term), away from the constant stream of informational noise of modern life.
- scottlocklin 7y agoLook, they didn't even make a case for why Petreaus had anything to do with anything else in this rambling, disjointed, largely useless article. Using a ding dong like that as the sole non-fictional example of "Leadership" pretty much invalidates anything the yoyo author said. Though he did get me to reread "Heart of Darkness" last night, so I got something out of it. Honestly if you want actionable examples of actual leadership, any example from Plutarch's lives is going to be more informative than 50 paragraphs of hokum from some guy who makes his living flattering people who went to Yalevard (he apparently wrote a whole book filled with this crap).
