Being a Leader is hard.

That's why it's rare to find her.

Organisations call 'Leaders' people who:

  • Made a Widget well enough to supervise other people to make (often different) Widgets
  • Did something in another organisation that their boss wants them to repeat for them
  • Get invited to meetings with limited chairs to learn to advocate their boss's opinion 
  • Umpire Widget conflicts (rarely) and interpersonal conflicts (mostly)
  • Make their Widget better than anyone else in the organisation
  • Control others so that the boss doesn't have to

Boss's call them 'leaders' to acknowledge what they want them to do is hard - yet not Leadership hard.

It's a rare boss who will pay you to make decisions that contradict her.

It's a rare boss who will trust you to trust others to change direction from the one she chose.

Rare good bosses means rarer Leaders.
