Leadership Theory And Practice 2

   
     All doors are open, you're invited in, the fun is only beginning.  The experiences are the thing.  It is the best, perhaps only, way to learn leadership lessons.  Hard way, easy way, either way, the lesson applies.  It is the responsible method.  To formalize assignments and internally nomadic leadership opportunities.  To strategically develop the leadership at an enterprise level, dispelling the myth that expertise will lead to wild success.  Expertise usually leads to mediocrity.  The know it all, the awed, the revered, with skins on the wall.  Success makes them too safe.  Too predictable.  Too steady.  For government work, this might fly.  Lack of competition limits the need for dynamics and constant innovation.  In the competitive world, including benevolent organizations, fluid leadership rotations will maximize the overall collective leadership effort.  The flops will flop, the stars will star.  They will all learn, conciously or otherwise.  Take control of the day, the people, the right curiosities, the culture.  Let the leadership developers develop leaders by putting them in positions to develop.  The company should control this action, it is too important to leave to winds, waves, and personal written development plans.

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
