I’m Glad It’s Not Me

Leadership that doesn’t fit your approach isn’t necessarily bad leadership. Can you think both “I’m glad it’s not me” and “I’m glad it’s being done?”

I recently watched the docuseries about the creation of Katseye, the new global Kpop-style supergroup. While the production and artistic teams have work that overlaps considerably with my own – teaching, coaching, team building, music production – their goals and approach couldn’t be further away from mine.

So, I’m glad it’s not me. The approach they take is anathema to my philosophical goals and demeanor.

And yet – I’m glad it’s being done, too. My work reaches the people I seek to reach, but I know it’s not right for everyone. And conversely, I believe there’s value in the work being done to train and develop the superstar performers who become groups like BTS or Katseye, and those performers don’t happen by accident. So long as the people doing that work do it with heart, with respect, and with honor, I’m glad it’s being done.
