The Middle Leader Manifesto

I don't know why writers are so obsessed with the concept of 'leadership'. Honestly, terms like 'productivity', 'innovation', 'cooperation' or 'quality' could be plugged into this article in place of 'leadership' and it would say essentially the same thing. The tips aren't so much bad (I follow many of them myself) as they are generic. Having goals, being ambitious, listening to others, finding a braintrust, etc., all form the core of a certain mindset that's popular today. Ultimately the really interesting thing would be a discussion of the differences between different types of sociality, one that (say) focuses more on listening versus another than focuses more on goals. But it's hard to have a reasoned discussion and to write a manifesto in the same post. Image: Niall Brennan, The characteristics of a great middle leader.
