Won’t They?

We speak of ‘leadership’ in such hallowed terms.

We don’t have the same reverence for ‘takes very good meeting minutes’ or ‘formats letters well’ or ‘prepares appropriate risk assessments’.

No.

‘Leadership’, like all those jobs, is simply a term used to describe a set of skills that others’ need to do those jobs.

Like taking minutes, typing, or administration.

The leader is given power and we allow them to wield it in the expectation they will use it to allow us to get on with our jobs.

Won’t they?…

Uh-oh…
