Some can be accused of operating like “A-grade plumbers” – but living in a house with the worst plumbing in the street
Able to get results, but lacking savvy and self-awareness where it counts most, at “home” so to speak
Often more successful or longer in the job/organisation, the harder it is to “see” what could do with some helpful attention. Blindspots…. we’ve all got them
To illustrate: there is an insightful saying – “at some point, we have to stop throwing life-buoys to people floating-by and, walk upstream and, find out who is throwing them off the bridge, and why?”
Perhaps could be time for interruption to behaviour for those ‘doing the throwing from the bridge’ – orchestrating new engaging, sustainable approaches, without compromising results or performance. Being the real-deal as opposed to acting and leading like a machine. No-one wants to follow a “block-head”
Outcome: Key people far more effective, and influential, as well as related and inclusive; without generating any unnecessary angst or, static around them – measured by harmful, wasted or repeated effort – “lots of swimming and drowning by others” – you know what we mean
