A major part of the leader’s role is to help the organization become more capable.
This happens when you challenge conventional wisdom and lead to the mission instead of preconceived notions.
When people say, “We’ve always done it this way,” the leader challenges, “How well is it working? Can we do better?”
This challenges the organization to look under the hood and see how well the machinery is performing.
And this leads to innovation.
It ain’t easy to challenge the process.
The forces of inertia are strong.
That’s why leadership takes courage.
