When you're very, very junior, we give people tons of training how to do their jobs.
Some people get advanced degrees how to do their jobs so that they'll be good at them.
And if you're really good at your job, we'll promote you.
And eventually you get promoted to a position where you're now responsible for the people who do the job you used to do, and we don't teach you how to do that.
So how can we expect people to be good at their jobs if we don't train them how to do it?
Like, would you go see a doctor that didn't go to medical school?
No.
So why would we work for a leader who has no training in being a leader?
That's why we get managers.
That's why we get micromanagers.
That's why we get toxicity.
It's not because they're bad people.
It's because they don't know what they're doing.
And they're making it up as they go along.
And those lucky times that we get to work for a great leader, well, they were lucky that they probably had a great leader before them.
Or they learned it somewhere else.
Or maybe they had a terrible leader and they committed to do the total opposite of everything.
The point is they learned it.
Well, we have to teach leadership so that leaders can create environments in which all of us can work to our natural best.
We teach leadership as if it were a finite game.
