Leadership: Sad Facts and Silver Linings

OK, so I'm back! Time for some quick insights courtesy of Tom Peters.

Anyway, so looking through my notes I have this.

Realities of the workplace:
  • Executives = Rubber Stamps NOT "Decision Makers"
  • People are always engaged in short-term 'firefighting' and don't have time for long term strategic thinking
  • Bad news is hidden from those who need to hear it the most
  • There is too much inertia
From my brief experience in the workworld... I would have to agree 100% with Mr. Peters. I will be going into greater detail about my thoughts on these in the following posts.

Thank you all for continuing to read the Youngleader blog!
