Best People Suffer Most From Leadership problems.

Within a week of me starting in one of my jobs, I received resignation from an employee.

He said he does not like what he does any more.

 When he described what he does it turned out to be all routine tasks that he was not even supposed to do. It just that nobody else was doing them.

I saw that movie so many times before that I lost count.

 It was a classical leadership problem, one exhibited by his ex boss.

  It is so common that the best people are the ones who suffer the most from lack of leadership. They step in and solve issues that their boss is not solving. They plug the holes in the process and communication.

 But when they reach the point of no return, it is often impossible to fix.

"When a flower does not bloom, fix the environment, not the flower."
