The certainty trap: Why change fails before it starts

Change rarely fails in conflict - it fails in hesitation. “Certainty addiction” keeps leaders waiting for proof instead of moving with purpose.

Credit theft isn’t an accident - it’s a symptom of toxic leadership systems that reward noise over integrity. This article explores why managers steal credit, how capable people remain visible through consistency, and why genuine influence always outlasts imitation.

Organisational failure – survival depends on design

With it, leadership moves.
