There's still insanity in corporate america

I've been reading the Slow Leadership blog, which I've found to be helpful to keep thinking about how to do my job better...and sanely. The blogger, Carmine Coyote, has been running a survey about readers' needs for slow leadership. I dutifully filled it out.

I was not prepared for the type of responses he got. Here's one sample:

"Problems are delegated, not tasks. There is a culture that says 'If you can't meet the deadline it must be because you're not trying hard enough', rather than 'You're not meeting the deadline. Is there a problem? Can we help?'"

He finishes the post of comments from the survey with this thought: "Eventually, the pressures reach those who can delegate no further." Is that any way to run a business or be a leader? That's insane!
