Why Americans are losing faith in institutions. How modern public bureaucracies weaponize technical compliance to deflect accountability and silence critics.
Amen, that's been my approach to leadership, I'm a lousy manager, but a passably good leader. Fix the problem, then work to avoid recurrence. The only way people improve, succeed, and thrive is when they have the freedom to fail from those above them. I'm not speaking here of incompetence or negligence, but rather they possess the ability to seek news ways to achieve the mission and if it doesn't work, fix it, use that failure to learn (and not repeat it) and get better through the process. Question for the naysayers, how many attempts did it take for folks to build a reliable and practical incandescent light bulb, all great successes are built to a degree on failure. It's not failing that is the problem, it is not getting back up in the saddle, that constitutes the failure or like far too many of our modern "leaders" failing to learn and continuing to do the same dumb things, time after time.

Yes, this is the way.
