"We deserve better, you might be thinking. But researchers who study
leadership—and there are many—are beginning to offer up a surprising truth: The
kind of leaders we idolize may be the last people we really want in charge. The
character traits that tend to convince us someone deserves power, these
thinkers say, have remarkably little to do with how effective that person will
be at actually running a city, or a company, or a nation."
Good article on what people think they want from leaders, as opposed to actual
effective leadership.
Share and enjoy,
