News Flash – If you have to look for leadership it doesn’t exist…Today’s post is not going to sit well with many in the leadership profession, but then many of my posts seem to have that effect. In my opinion the practice of leadership identification is simply based upon flawed business logic, and it is make-work in the purest form.

You cannot separate leadership from decisioning, for like it or not, they are inexorably linked. Show me someone who hasn’t made a bad decision and I’ll show you someone who is either not being honest, or someone who avoids decisioning at all costs, which by the way, constitutes a bad decision. They make bad decisions.

Well actually, no it’s not. What I do vehemently dispute is the assertion that a particular nuance is reasonable justification for flawed business logic to prevail. Even the most savvy CEO may have blind spots in his or her skill sets, core competencies, or voids in the org chart which can also cause blind spots.
