Key Points

  • The problems today’s leaders face are becoming more and more complex, and leaders can no longer be expected to know all the answers.
  • All people are vulnerable in one sense because nobody knows everything.
  • The value systems of many companies do not incentivize managers to get the most out of their teams, instead of rewarding managers for playing up to management.
