Why we fail (as leaders)

(I wrote this first on linkedin) 

The more I think of it,

my favorite quote I use often, "it's wrong or sin to milk a bull". having right people at right places is important. If not if we keep a bull in the place of cow, how ever hard you plan and budget loads of money, you will never get milk.


Also, I strongly believe, if you want to have a baby, you need to work for it, somebody else cannot have sex and have a baby and you declare as your baby. DNA test can prove who is the real parent.

Leadership is not like a gender assigned at birth but something should be earned and not something that magically bestowed upon.

having right team is an essential ingredient of success. who believe in a goal and work collaboratively and argue/debate/question regularly to validate their dream.

As John Doerr says we need team of missionaries , not teams of mercenaries.

unfortunately, we use engineers as Mercenaries. This is true of many failed products.
