FacebookWe’ve all been there — working under a leader who mistakes authority for influence, or control for clarity. They manage tasks, not talent. They dictate rather than inspire. And while the world around them changes, they cling to what once worked, blind to the reality that the game — and the rules of leadership — have moved on.
