"Frank's skill in asking the right questions is un-mistakable, and is at the core of his leadership philosophy.

The power of these questions cannot be underestimated, especially if you want to lead and not manage."

Why Do Managers Fail to Act on Their Predictions?

The Harvard Business School working knowledge has an interesting article about Readers Respond: Why Do Managers Fail to Act on Their Predictions?

Here a teaser:

    A quote from a book whose title escapes me says it well: “The core competency of executive management is wishful thinking.” Playing it safe leads to the best payoff and explains why inertia often rules. Many so-called leaders lack imagination, a cause they can make others enlist to, and/or the courage to challenge the status quo.
