Ever wonder why we celebrate incompetent leaders?

Two words: Action Fallacy

Why do we celebrate incompetent leaders? | Martin Gutmann | TEDxBerlin​

Management historian Martin Gutmann challenges us to rethink what great leadership looks like. While we tend to celebrate those with a proclivity for action and brash words, great leaders are often precisely those who don't need to generate excessive noise or activity.

Martin Gutmann is a speaker, author, and professor interested in how the past can shed new light on contemporary issues. His most recent book is The Unseen Leader: How History Can Help Us Rethink Leadership.
