I've been distracted lately from the miscellaneous thoughts I was ploughing through from the leadership conference a few weeks ago.
One thing I did want to share was an excellent analogy of poor leadership.
Batman is a poor leader.
Every time he swoops in to rescue the good people of Gotham, he disempowers the regular police force.
As time goes on, they would become less efficient at crime fighting, mindful that the Caped Crusader would pick up the slack. They would look over their shoulder and be allowed to maintain a level of mediocrity.
The lesson? Don't constantly be the hero. Let others step up and be involved. Encourage them to participate. Resist the urge to fly in and save the situation if everything doesn't go perfectly.
