I’m just a grunt down in the mines writing my grant applications and research manuscripts, but my general impression is that smart people are increasingly shying away from important institutional leadership positions and the people who are taking them are less and less accomplished and talented.

With a lower profile, very often you can make more money, do more interesting work you enjoy, avoid tedious administrative responsibilities and toxic politics, have more free time, and frankly many of these places are coming more and more to resemble insane asylums.

The leadership roles are increasingly thankless so why would you dedicate a decade or two of your life to a place that is going sideways anyways?

Disincentivizing leadership is a very big problem at scale yet there’s a presumption that talented people (parent-like adults who will bear any abuse) will still take these jobs.
