Myths about leaders and leadership travel the world and back again. Despite empirical evidence to the contrary, once a myth becomes well accepted, it is hard to shake it off. The problem is that when other people repeat something often enough, everyone begins to believe it. The idea then becomes the accepted fact.
When we become leaders we take all the examples of good and bad leadership we have experienced, mix it all together and create our own style.
That’s why we should try and work with as many leaders as possible in our formative early career years.
Observe what they do, what they don’t do and how you would approach a problem if you were in their shoes. Look to see how the situation plays out and learn from their mistakes.
