2, HIs decision king abilities.

What other leadership lessons did you receive while watching the Duke of Hastings

Why is the behavior of the role leader being tolerated?

Whatever is happening in the larger system is reflected in the smaller system.

The issues that play out on the public domain is a call for us to examine what is happening in our organizations.

As a leader when you see any dysfunction in the wider system, its a great idea to scour your organsaiton to see if these abnormalities are present.

Think of it this way.  It wouldn't show up in the larger system unless it pre existed in the smaller systems.
