Obviously speaking...

I've been working in the corporate world for 3+ years now, yet the propensity for business-type people to state the obvious never ceases to amaze me. Yesterday I was in a workshop designed to help train performance managers, and one of the 'experts' delivered this line with all seriousness, as if were a pearl of great wisdom:


"To be a leader you have to get people to follow you."


Does that seem like a no-brainer to anyone else?

"WOW" Is all I can say. I don't want to state the obvious!

Maybe you should sneak some up and see if anyone notices. :)

Good heavens! I'm glad I'm not "following that leader"!
