Somehow it rubs me the wrong when people philosophize about “leadership”. I think we have way too many leaders or people who want to be leaders and give a lot of respect to these people but neglect the people who are doing the actual work.
- aklemm 7y agoAt the same time, those workers don’t have any conception of the hard work that goes into actual leadership. Life is so complicated.
- bobbytherobot 7y agoNot sure most managers and executives know how much hard work go into actual leadership either.
- ssss11 7y agoI agree - good leadership is hard, and there aren’t many that are good at it
- chrisseaton 7y agoLeadership is actual work. I don’t think anything is harder than being in a leadership position - it’s usually lonely, isolating, exhausting, precarious, and with little support.
- QualityReboot 7y agoSo what you're saying is if work is already lonely, isolating, exhausting, precarious, with little support, then I might as well go into leadership?
- chrisseaton 7y agoI’m saying you may find it even more so in a leadership position.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoI would agree. I just feel that a lot of talk about leadership is feel good talk for wannabe leaders. When I look at my company a lot of people in management don’t lead but they just pass on orders from above and take zero risks. I would call them administrators. But they still go on offsite meetings about leadership.
