In this environment of constant change, I often hear that we should be agile. That’s one reason I was interested to talk with Leo Tilman and General Charles Jacoby, who co-wrote a new book, Agility: How to Navigate the Unknown and Seize Opportunity in a World of Disruption. AGILITY aims to address this urgent need.

They worry over what the organization or their boss owes them and should do for them and obsess over the authority they 'should have,' thus rendering themselves ineffectual. Even the greatest wisdom and knowledge not applied to action and behavior is meaningless. Influencing up is similar to selling products or services to customers.

Putting political agendas and peer pressure aside (as great leaders do), leaders should not make their choices based upon public opinion. Rather they should benchmark their decisions against the question of “is it the right thing to do?” How sad is this? Their responsibility is to be correct; not politically correct.
