It's not "my negativity" either. <br>History's greatest thinker on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>leadership</span></a>, Mary Follett, already talked about the matter of leaders/leading as being opposed to leadership in a similar fashion, about 100 years ago. And she was a Bostonian.</p><p>So thanks for tagging me as "probably too German."</p><p>Since <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Follett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Follett</span></a>'s time, the abuse of the words leaders, leading, leadership has continued.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/betacodex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>betacodex</span></a></p>
