This entry is being posted on behalf of Bruce La Rochelle.
On February 15, 2018, Bruce passed away as a result pancreatic cancer. One of his last wishes was to emphasize the fact that his cancer was brought on as a result of smoking. Perhaps not surprisingly, he wanted to ensure that through his death he wanted to benefit others by warning of the dangers of smoking, which took his life all too soon.
Bruce has entrusted me with his blog and his academic materials to me. I will do my best to honour his legacy by maintaining it and posting those materials as I work through them. His obituary can be found here.
If you have any thoughts on Bruce or the maintenance of this blog, please feel free to leave a comment or contact me at david@david-ma.ca.
Focus Diffusion
In leadership generally, people seem to expect to focus on one leader. If that leader does not meet expectations, there is no fallback position, other than leadership replacement.
Since few people can be all things to all people, it would seem preferable to move to an “office of the leader” model. Several people assuming a collective leadership role. Different skills complementing collectively.
Often the answer isn’t in one person:
Collective charisma?
