- Is there a common element(s) in businesses that need to “turn”?
- Your book “The Disciple Dilemma” talks about symptoms, versus causes for leadership failures in organizations – and you relate that to an iceberg. Explain icebergs, symptoms and causes in that metaphor setup.
- You talk about management traps for leaders. Why is management a trap?
- What do you want leaders to do in light of these issues?
