@MarkCCrowley This has been the norm for modern management/ leadership for a long time. To be fair dinkum about a solution start by redefining management/ leadership as "identifying and reconciling the many organisational paradoxes that hinder performance."
Some lessons I've learned from Buffett and Munger:
1. Wisdom is prevention
2. The fundamental algorithm of life: repeat what works
3. Become a learning machine: The wise of every generation discover the same truths
4. Avoid distractions
5. Spend time thinking
6. Position yourself for opportunity
7. Invert: Avoid what you don't want
8. Avoiding stupidity is easier than seeking brilliance
9. The weakest link causes the problem
Where does a judge rule on a case BEFORE the case:
Before the trial, which is expected to last into mid-December, Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that the defendants committed fraud by inflating Trump’s net worth and the value of assets on his financial statements

@RossSwan2 Hold over us. The time to worry is when the idea is so widely shared that we no longer even notice it, when it's so deeply rooted that it feels like plain common sense. At the point when objections are not raised, we are not in control. We do not have the idea. It has us.
@AmyCEdmondson @wallybock There are 2 fundamental human forces; those that bring us together/ horizontal or social forces and those that separate us/vertical or status forces. Too often leadership is seen as the later when it's really the former.
My key point in @jenamcgregor's story, Martin Seligman's safety signal hypothesis:
When layoffs are recurring...Everybody is just in a situation of unpredictability,” he says. “When they go to work and they wake up every morning, they don't feel safe.”

My early career research was on managing organizational death & decline. Upshot is skilled leaders give affected people with predictability, understanding, control, & compassion.
@jenamcgregor's story on tech layoffs shows little was learned in 40+ years

I propose an end to the belief that leadership is separate from management, and superior to it. This is damaging management all right, but leadership more so.

@alfiekohn At a global trainers meeting in HO, NY, visiting the state-of-the-art training facility. We watched trainers give FB to trainees' role plays. A real showcase event for us all. The Thai trainer asked our guide, "why do they always start FB with 'good job'? and what if it's not?"
@danariely relates to “something significant,” and have an ongoing opportunity to contribute to that “something significant” while learning and growing as individuals.
@danariely I can't help thinking that we've been spinning our wheels on this issue. Over 23 years ago (1999) Gallop's "A Hard Look at Soft Numbers" concludes "data clearly show that in successful business units employees have clear expectations, close relationships, can see how what they do
@AjmaniK What the pupil must learn, if he learns anything at all, is that the world will do most of the work for you, provided you cooperate with it by identifying how it really works and aligning with those realities. If we do not let the world teach us, it teaches us a lesson. J Tussman

@davidabrock Where companies and managers get coaching wrong is they start with the assumption that it's a process...do training, pick a model and voila. Start by defining coaching as an outcome.. it's what happens when you're not there. Work backwards by grasping what impacts their behavior
