Leaders getting tired
Sometimes you meet a leader that has had enough. It is not that they cease to be leaders; it is just that, in their particular environment, at this moment in time, it is all too much.And that is OK because circumstances for all of us are never the same. So what motivates one person at one moment in their life may now seem to be flat. They may feel, for all sorts of reasons that they have moved on.
They now want to do something different with their life. Where does this leave the organisation? Well it can leave the organisation in trouble. How often do we all take things for granted, how often do we simply not put enough value on what we have.
In the global knowledge economy this is a very common occurence simply because organisations in general and people in particular do not know how to put a value on unique tacit knowledge, the stuff that lives in people’s heads.
That is why long standing, wonderful servants of organisations can sometimes stand up and suddenly say, to many people’s amazement, “Thank you, but goodbye”.
