The elevators in my building are working again. As best as I can figure, they were out for 14 weeks while two teams 'worked' on them. Fourteen weeks of exercise. Inexcusable.

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
