EGO OFTEN PREVENTS US
FROM THINKING BADLY ABOUT Engineer Database DECISIONS MADE ON OUR WATCH. Recently I came across a company that was evaluating new technology to enhance or replace its telecom infrastructure. It was proceeding quite methodical
ly until a person of influenc
e decided to dictate the decision based Content calendars ensure consistent posting on his own choice. One of the many challenging things about watching this play out was that this leader’s actual depth of knowledge was by no means sufficient to derail an analysis or make the best/right decision.
But alas, his position was! So,
he bragged that he made this thing happen so much faster. “Look at me, I’m such a genius,” “Without me, the team would stil
l be talking about it.”
It is as if talking about it were a bad thing. UGH! This leader stuck the company with insufficient and more expensive tools that resulted in a “cobbled together” solution.
It is one that all involv
ed will steadfastly defend until the blowback occurs in a couple of years. Often, this type of leader moves on to terrorize some oth
er poor unsuspecting
firm with his/her brand of “genius.” They truly believe that anything that goes wrong or fails will fall once again to the incompetents left behind as they “hurry” away.
