The Souffle might not rise
Life is like a box of chocolates, said Forest Gump, you never know what you are going to get. A lovely hazelnut covered dark chocolate for your first dip and then a saccharine-sweet, minty, toothpaste-y flavour for the next. Open, empathetic leadership, where the hierarchy is seamless, is like that. One moment you are feeling good about the openness within the organisation, the fact that you can share what you want to with a team of peers and the next moment that information is being used to devalue your contribution to the organisation.
