With the merest hint of irony Andrew Jacobs suggests that what many organisations really want are not better leaders, but better followers:
- Developing trust with insincere people
- Learning to believe anything/everything someone says
- Being inspired by uninspirational people
- Being passionate in an uncommitted environment
- Understanding mixed messages
- Working with indecisive people
- Taking blame with confidence
- Appreciating the learning points of the excessive workload
- Giving up ideas for the credit of others
- Working without praise
- Being manipulated with appreciation
The recent years of UK politics would suggest that there are many faces we see on our screens every day who want the same :-)
