What Keeps You Awake at Night?
A Crisis in Leadership
A lot has been discussed and written about concerning leadership. I, myself have written about this in an article published in Design 2 Part magazine, entitled, “8 Important Characteristics of Business Leaders: How 5 of the Greatest Exemplify Them”. (https://www.d2pmagazine.com/2020/10/16/8-important-characteristics-of-business-leaders-how-5-of-the-greatest-exemplify-them/}.
In spite of this, there is still a lack of good leaders, people we look up to and want to follow.
In fact, according to the World Economic Forum, 86% of respondents to a survey on the global agenda said that we have a leadership crisis in the world today.’
You would think that it couldn’t or shouldn’t be that bad. After all, we talk about, read about and study leadership. Yet, the facts are the facts. There is a lack of leadership and that causes some or possibly even many to keep them awake at night.
The problem may lie in two areas.
The first is the leadership that the individual is connected to. That person may be dictatorial, uninspiring or just plain incompetent. They got to their position through politics or nepotism and you are then expected to do their bidding.
