The other day I was questioning whether we had reached a point of international writers block. Today, out of the blue and via an unexpected link I came across Slow Leadership.
Slow Leadership opposes the pressure for homogeneity in leadership, especially the urge to equate leadership purely with getting short-term results. That’s the equivalent of defining diet as fast food—an endless supply of burgers, fries and sodas—just because that type of meal is quick, simple and cheap. Leadership is far more than producing results in short order. Leadership is the art of finding the right way forward, not just for today but for as far ahead as you can reasonably see. It’s not an activity that can be reduced to simplistic rules-of-thumb and numbered lists of “to-dos.” There’s no Leadership 101 to cover all normal situations; no Leadership-by-Numbers kit you can buy via the Internet.
Yes please – I’ll take some Slow Leadership.
I love having a new thought stream, something that gets me thinking.
