We need more boring leadership .....

Why is this lady so much more resilient and respected, ......

... than this guy or ....

this guy ?

I've worked for a fair few people over the years. The good people to work for are in the minority. They had a few significant things in common.

Honest

Forthright

Hard working

Thoughtful

Attentive

Empathetic

Trustworthy

Determined

But they were never the last one in the bar, or the first on the dance floor. A definite sense of humour but hardly the life and soul of a party. In short massive competency wrapped up in a significant shell of boring.

That's the kind of leadership we need to be encouraging.

This short clip sums it up far better than I can.
