In today’s professional world, a striking paradox exists: technical expertise is highly valued and developed, while leadership skills remain woefully neglected.
As Wladislaw Jachtchenko points out in his insightful book “The 5 Roles of Leadership,” this imbalance has created generations of managers who excel at their technical jobs but struggle tremendously with the human aspects of leadership.
The consequences are painfully evident in workplaces worldwide – internal conflicts fester, team motivation wanes, and communication remains mediocre at best.
Most managers find themselves unprepared for the multidimensional challenges of leadership, focusing almost exclusively on professional competencies while leadership abilities lag far behind.
