A CULTURE OF MEDIOCRITY - #335

Dear Reader,

Mediocrity is an art that many have mastered without even realizing.

Lousy leadership behaviors create a negative, long-term impact on employees.

Mediocrity often spreads like wildfire.

But the signs of a mediocre culture are easy to detect early on.

By failing to act, leaders promote practices such as groupthink, blame, mistake intolerance, and brilliant jerks.

Embrace greatness; mediocrity is already taken.

Stay fearless, my friend.
