> I had a recent discussion with someone who argued that new senior leaders deliberately push for major changes even though they suspect the efforts will fail. Such changes make the organization increasingly dependent on the new leader, and also ensures anything that does go well gets attributed to the new leader directly rather than their team. If this is your approach to leadership, please know that you’re awful and take the time to work on yourself until the well-being and success of an entire company matters to you more than being perceived as essential.
Be that as it may, this is more common than rare and these things influence how optics-focused mid-level leaders behave that report to those senior leaders. And most hands-on folk work under such mid-level leaders. Unless you are a star performer, it may not be easy to avoid this as opportunities are getting scarcer in these times for most folks.
