The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.

Teams can bring a measure of adaptability to previously rigid organizations. But these performance improvements have a ceiling as long as adaptable traits are limited to the team level.

Trust and purpose are inefficient: getting to know your colleagues intimately and acquiring a whole-system overview are big time sinks. The sharing of responsibilities generates redundancy.

Responding to such a [complex] world requires greater adaptability, and adaptability is more characteristic of small interactive teams than large top-down hierarchies.

About this Blog

It’s great to welcome you on my blog, where you find a variety of interesting articles, videos, quotes, and images on leadership, mostly in a business context. Look at it as my personal, growing collection that I like to share.

I am the head of operations and a member of the executive management of an SME located in Switzerland, an alumnus of  the Open University (BA in Leadership and Management), and a conscript deputy batallion commander / chief of staff (OF-3) in the Swiss Armed Forces. During the past ten plus years, I have been leading people in different situations and organisations, ranging from small teams to large business and military units in the private sector as well as in peacekeeping missions abroad. Despite the variety, all these situations have one thing in common: the special feeling of accomplishment when a bunch of different people achieves a common goal thanks to skill, commitment, companionship, and… good leadership.
