The only thing constant in business is and should be change itself. All of us are plagued by complacency, be it learning new hard skills / soft skills and everything in between.
Leaders are dynamic and constantly adapt to the environment and un-learn old ways and never get labeled as ‘old school’. But leadership is not likely to last forever. A leadership style itself can become complacent and might be a misfit for an evolving organization. Change in such a situation might be good anyways. Chucking a leader in a position after a long time or a strategic shift might be a good idea. Perhaps this is the time when you’re actually allowed to say to someone-“don’t take it personally’.
