We don’t have to look far to see examples of bad leadership.
The pandemic, if nothing else, has been a wake-up call for many of us that the people in charge – in what we have historically deemed leadership roles – aren’t at best, the right people for the job and at worst, are actively creating more harm, distrust and damage.
There have been many maddening moments over the past 20+ months when I’ve vacillated between deep disappointment and white-hot rage. I’ve shed tears at the injustices and shaken my head in utter disbelief at how the people, governments and companies we’ve charged with looking out for our shared interest…don’t.
Luckily, there have been inspiring moments too: reading about the company leaders who rise to the challenge of creating a fair, flexible working environment for their staff who are navigating a massive period of disruption or smart, capable women getting elected into government or other leaders who do the right thing despite how it’ll poll on Twitter.
But what it got me thinking most about is how we need to fundamentally redefine our ideas around what leadership even means.
