Morning, feels like one of those one things after another round here! Keep pushing 😅
The comment by the poster sums this up and is mirrored in the comments. This isn’t leadership and it’s not what people in senior positions are paid for. Leadership always comes with a cost associated with it because you have to access a situation, make a decision and that decision may be wrong, with its own costs associated with it. people count on you for ability to do that, and the higher the level, the bigger the cost. Presiding over a poor situation in full awareness of it, but remaining silent, waiting until you are as safe from those costs as possible before speaking up is cowardice and hugely unprofessional. That this is now so common in all fields - another big culprit being senior military officers - as is be completely unsurprising is one of the reasons the UK is where it is.
