Signs of Leadership Crisis

Leadership crises often arise from subtle, underlying issues rather than overt actions. The podcast highlights that leadership failures frequently stem from what are termed 'soft factors' such as bitterness, isolation, and lack of accountability. These soft factors can quietly degrade a leader's moral and professional integrity, leading to potentially catastrophic outcomes for both the individual and the organization. Understanding and recognizing these signs can help leaders proactively avoid crashes, shifting the focus from damage control to preventative measures.
