I want to start a revolution. I want to start a revolution against ignoring the pink elephant in the room, complimenting the naked emperor on his fancy new duds and, most of all, assuming that just because someone is in a position of leadership means they have a clue.
In fact, I'll take a room full of naked elephants and pink emperors if we could all just admit that there are lots and lots and lots and lots of really, painfully ineffective leaders in this world. And I'm tired of having to follow them.
I'm going to revolt. Very soon. I'm plotting my revolution now...I'm uncertain whether it will be a subversive revolution or a full out call out of all the leaderless behavior and managerial madness I see. I want blind spots to be revealed and work to actually be done well and authentically. Is that too much to ask? I guess I need to revolt to find out. How sad.
This is such a great post. It's so hard to be in a room where all the conversation is coming from one place (and not a good one), or there are "yes" men and women prepared to crown terrible ideas as good.
