Impact Over Firefighting
Bad leaders like convenience over value.
They push those who make their lives easier - small tasks, fire drills and ego bosts. Problem solvers, whose work eliminates chaos, go unnoticed because their success erases the memory of the problem itself.
Leaders fear losing their “firefighters” more than those who ensure a fire never starts. The latter rarely gets rewarded.
