I guess I understand the appeal of writing posts specifically directed to leaders and leadership. The people who control the money - CEOs, Presidents, Directors - like to think of themselves as leaders. My own observation that the primary trait of such 'leadership' is "doing what you're told", otherwise they won't entrust you with the money. Anyhow, the point of this post is that "CEOs could apply any of these 'lockdown lessons' to their own enterprises and redefine organisational agility and creativity in the throes of the recovery already underway" (I'm not sure 'throes' was the right word there, but whatever...). Now I'm quite sure leaders won't actually follow that advice unless they're told to from above, especially as it undermines the myth about leaders actually leading. So however good the advice might be (and it's pretty good) I' sceptical about it being followed.
