Bso issue of leadership - by nypd leadership

[Unregistered]

Have you ever wondered why BSO tolerates a dysfunctional leader? The answer is dysfunction is so prevalent it’s often not even recognized as problematic.

Think of the Sheriff, and you’ll find he's not a leader, but a political hack undeserving of the position. Scott Israel and his ship of fools are conformists who desire to control instead of lead, they not only fail to inspire and challenge, they fail to lead. Leadership has become synonymous with babysitting in BSO, which does nothing more than signal a lack of trust to the rank and file. I can think of no time in the history of BSO where employees felt less valued and trusted than now. Remember, a leaders job is not to place people in a box, but to free them from boxes.

It’s not difficult to find signs of leadership dysfunction in BSO – all you have to do is open your eyes. Therein lies the problem; leadership exists to disrupt mediocrity – not embrace it.

Scott and BSO has engaged is systematically killing of leadership – they are participating in leadership genocide. The so-called advances in organizational design theory have been so grossly over-weighted toward risk, BSO is now built to cover up rather than encourage success. Real leaders don't possess an unhealthy fear of failure - they encourage team members to take risks.

When process becomes more important than people, when collaboration is confused with having a meeting, when potential is held in higher regard than performance, and when independent thinking takes a backseat to conformity, leadership is dysfunctional at best. Leadership simply cannot be engineered according to the mass adoption of a set of rules (best practices). Leadership is about breaking the rules to discover change and innovation (next practices).

What passes for acceptable leadership has regrettably become a watered down, commoditized, politically correct version of the real thing. Until BSO and a new Sheriff reject those playing leadership and embrace those willing to challenge the status quo, offer new thought, encourage dissenting opinion, and who desire to serve instead of seeking to be served, we’ll continue to see BSO fail.

What a yawn I just had.....felt like one of those boring classes I'm forced to attend.
Its probably accurate but no one cares and it's too long winded.....much like a fart.
