Smart & Wrong – How Leaders Create Chaos | The Connection Diaries

Published by Mickey Connolly at March 25, 2021

In the face of complex challenges, leaders often create more chaos, despite their best intentions. Quickly moving into action and being the hero with an answer may feel smart, but in the end can produce the wrong result. Leaders are only human, and the hard truth is that there are no perfect solutions to complex problems. However, there are smarter ways to discover the next right move without risking a bigger breakdown.

In this episode, Mickey and Kell share what leaders should keep in mind when facing complex issues, including a simple equation for producing meaningful, enduring results. Hint: slowing down and getting more perspectives in the conversation is always a smart idea!

This conversation introduces a topic we will explore in-depth on April 15th with Scott Spann – From Chaos to Clarity: Designing for Strategic Success in an Uncertain World. You can learn more and register at the link, and explore all past and upcoming Community Gatherings here.

You can find all past episodes of The Connection Diaries here or on our YouTube channel, and don’t forget to connect with us on LinkedIn.
