The Insidious Nonsense You Know as “Common Sense”

On Leading with Greatness ·

2025/02/13

There they are. The terminal words. “Common sense.” The phrase is just another way of declaring, “You shut up now. We’re done here.” It’s is a vestige of a supposedly bygone era when bosses simply made up rules as they went along, often after the fact.It makes an excellent conversation ender because who can argue with common sense? It’s the answer to every tough “why?” or “how?” question that you want to evade. You can even wield common sense in response to quantifiable or demonstrable matters. Get

All Hail Ineptitude! The Powerful Appeal of...

On Leading with Greatness ·

2025/02/06

Why does the autocratic workplace—that gulag of ineptitude—still hold such appeal? Why are workers willing to overlook their broken cultures and the fecklessness that accompany them? I’ve addressed the mythology of autocratic bosses before, but why do we allow or even want our entire workplaces structured in their image?

2025/01/30

Have you ever noticed on social media that people who include others in their selfies are usually the most prominent person in every photo? It’s as though they’re the protagonist in some unwritten narrative. If every picture tells a story, these selfies shout out that one person matters more than the rest. Such photos are visual symbols of main character syndrome (MCS) at work. Get full access to On Leading With Greatness at jimsalvucci.substack.com/subscribe

“Severance” and the Truth about Work-Life Balance

On Leading with Greatness ·

2025/01/23

When we hear the word “severance” we usually think of a severance package, the money and benefits granted to some terminated workers. But severance refers specifically to the act of severing employees from their employment by “cutting” positions or directly “axing” workers. Like “termination,” these are violent words, indicating a chopping off, an amputation, decapitation, or death. Workplace lingo can be so cruel! Get full access to On Leading With Greatness at

Leading with Integrity: How Hard Choices Make You Strong

On Leading with Greatness ·

2025/01/16

It’s time I come clean. I’m always writing about integrity in some form or other, and I’m sincere in my desire to encourage the understanding and practice of integrity among leaders. Candidly, though, I rarely write about the downside of integrity: it can hurt. Get full access to On Leading With Greatness at jimsalvucci.substack.com/subscribe

The Limits of Efficiency and the Startling Elegance...

On Leading with Greatness ·

2025/01/09

We humans have a love-hate relationship with efficiency. On the one hand, we keenly want our systems to be efficient, to not waste time, energy, or physical resources. On the other hand, most efficiency stratagems are indistinguishable from austerity schemes handed down from on-high. The truth is that sustainable efficiency rarely comes from above or from outside.

When was the last time you reviewed your past, present, and yet to be?It was a dark and stormy afternoon. Eb was in the middle of chewing out stupid Bob, who was on the verge of tears.Eb was furious at Bob for his constant nattering about Eb’s alleged neglect of the corporate mission. “What a lot of hooey!” Eb yelled. “The mission’s just a sap to sell more stock to do-gooder shareholders, or haven’t you figured that out yet!”With that he summarily fired Bob. “I want you out of here by five,

Why True Leaders Never Obey in Advance

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/12/19

What happens when people obey in advance?Once bully bosses establish themselves as the alphas, many employees will submit in advance with little prompting. Capitulators compromise their values, betray loyalties, and even sacrifice their own most fundamental interests to cater to a boss’s whims. Here’s a simple rule: True leaders never obey in advance.

Ethics Can Only Be a Do, Never a Be

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/12/12

Great leaders act. They strive to do good—to do both good work and good works. Everything else they leave to the neutrals—those chronically indifferent, morally gutless, and ethically spineless “caitiff wretches”—the chief enemy of the good.When the neutrals sit down, you know it’s time for the leaders to stand up.

Love him or despise him, Clinton stood as a colossus in American politics despite his profusion of personal failings, retrograde behaviors, and carnal appetites—which seem almost quaint today. One of the keys to his apparent political success was also his greatest deficit as a person: his ability to compartmentalize.

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/11/28

Let’s talk about that most persistent of boss myths: that the tougher they are, the more effective they are. This nonsense is related to the “strongman” myth in politics, which assumes that authoritarian leaders are somehow superior at getting things done. There’s that tired line about how Benito Mussolini, the brutal fascist dictator of Italy known as Il Duce, got the decrepit Italian trains to run on time. Except he didn’t. What worked so well in fascist Italy wasn’t the rail system; it was

Plutarch’s Shadow and the Practical Limits of Loyalty

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/11/21

The Ancient Greek philosopher Plutarch may offer some insight here. Plutarch wrote, “I don’t need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod.” Perhaps feeling a little cheeky, he added, “My shadow does that much better.” Plutarch certainly would have rejected an enabling shadow like Jeff Greene as a friend. As it goes with television characters and Greek philosophers, so it goes with leaders. Unchecked personal loyalty can be detrimental and even destructive as we see with Larry’s

We all know the type. Think of television and movie characters such as Logan Roy from Succession. Or consider historical world leaders such as Napoleon. What do all these individuals—real or imagined—have in common? They have all embraced the “strongman” model of leadership . The strongman model occurs far more prevalently in everyday life. It’s the way of many or even most bosses. Get full access to On Leading With Greatness at jimsalvucci.substack.com/subscribe

Just the other day, something extraordinary happened. Someone praised me.Not that no one ever praises me, but it was the context that made it land differently.For years, I struggled to accept compliments with the grace they deserve. When praised, my mind would grumble, “What’s their angle” or “If only they knew…” I’d tell myself I needed to dismiss their recognition so I could “stay humble,” which really just reflected a limiting belief that I'm not deserving.Like all limiting beliefs, it’s silly

Bossplaining — A Most Toxic Way to Communicate

On Leading with Greatness ·

2024/10/31

Bossplainers have a compulsion to expound on how to do everything. Their behavior is utterly demoralizing because it starts and ends with the assumption that people don’t know what they’re doing. Every error—perceived or real—is blown out of proportion. Get full access to On Leading With Greatness at jimsalvucci.substack.com/subscribe

Let’s just get this out of the way: Bosses are never leaders. As for leaders, they’re never bosses.So, it’s that simple. Bosses aren’t leaders. But how do you tell the difference between a mere boss and a true leader? Sometimes it’s just obvious. You simply know. But if you’re not sure, one easy test is to determine which direction they’re running. One will be running away and one running toward.

2024/10/03

Leadership is practically in my blood. From a young age, I have been thrust into leadership positions, and I had to rely on my wits to succeed. Nonetheless, I always was a pretty good gut leader.Leadership is a skill, and like any other skill you can be born into it, but it must also be learned. The thing with learning new skills, though, is that while someone can guide you through the process, they cannot teach you the actual skill. That only comes through application and practice.

Are you awake? How can you be sure?Someone once observed, “It’s only when you wake up that you notice you were sleeping.” It’s a thinker, a puzzle, a paradox. Consider how often you operate on autopilot, un-present and unaware of your unawareness. It takes an act of consciousness—triggered from the outside or from within—to realize we’ve been sleepwalking.Download my free resource, the Transform To GREATness Toolkit, now!
