The current leadership model, it’s not it’s not that there is something inherently wrong with it. But rather that it is so ubiquitous that we tend to tune it out. We’ve heard confident leaders speak to us in confident tones on such a regular basis that we tend to not even listen anymore. So that when we are confronted with someone who appears to be more thoughtful, more reflective, even to the point of revealing some measure of uncertainty, I think it appeals to us as humans and our ears perk up. And we actually pay attention.
