A desire to “be treated the same as everyone else”, stupidly combined with the mindset of, “I’m special, so treat me accordingly”. A lack of manners, poise, decorum and common sense. These are symptoms of “amateur” behavior. And it is permeating society in all ages, sexes, and cultures. “...

Once, the job of leaders was to identify problems and fix them, while leaving nonproblems alone. Today, the notion that the new way is always better than the old way—and that if you aren’t disrupting everything, you are losing—has come to constitute a new orthodoxy of business thinking.
