At my current job I'm getting marked down for not demonstrating leadership. "Leadership", in this context, means supporting and implementing whatever latest buzzword the VP heard at the country club that we are not staffed for and will be a disaster.
That's the kind of psychological safety I have.
- tolbish 6y agoLeadership can also mean having the gumption and initiative to push back.
- Consultant32452 6y agoI get that. I've told my boss it's a bad idea. I told my boss' boss it's a bad idea. But the management is all incentivized to do this horrible thing because it pads their resume and likely gives them more headcount. They don't argue with me on the merits, I get vague platitudes about how we're bleeding edge, this is where the market is headed, etc. Their incentives are not aligned with quality output.
