Leadership is Worldbuilding

The goal of world-building, to recap, is to create and nurture purposeful environments where people find a clear role to play, and understand the narratives around it. World-building goes beyond linear storytelling, because if you do it right, the world you’ve created starts telling the story for you. You don’t have to be there all the time, or micro-manage every part of the storyline. Your job is to create a world that’s interesting for people, let others find their purpose inside it, and then run with it.

Show me a better definition of leadership today. I’ll wait.

To turn it over: worldbuilding is what most leadership is lacking today and what creates the roots of most problems in organisation.
