Ep 70: Confessions of a Guru - Part 3: Can you handle the Truth?
Description
The New Series
Yes, indeed, Leadership in Chaos is truly back with an exciting new series – Confessions of a Guru.
The “Guru” label is deliberately ironic as, in the age of the un-curated digital platform, everyone - it seems - is suddenly a Guru. Self-proclaimed anyway. 😉
The format is to choose a story from my 30+ years of working with leaders globally which illustrates the best or the worst of some aspect of leadership.
After telling the story, I then extrapolate the message application for you to consider in your life and work.
I know you’re busy, so it will always be brief!
Part 3: “Can you handle the Truth?”
This is the story of a Boomerang client who revealed to me why, at her previous company, the executive had decided not to go any further with the Change project we were working on with them. “I absolutely loved what you were doing. It was having a great impact. But you were getting too close to the Truth…and Leadership didn’t like it”.
Honestly.
