Dr. Z. believes in the power of metaphor or similie (if you like that sort of thing).
Complete the following sentence:
Leadership is like ….
When you master metaphor you will master leadership. You can voice the metaphor during all occasions, people will be bamboozled by your ambiguity, others will salute you as a sage, and you will be like, cool eh.
In future posts, Dr. Z. will share some powerful leadership metaphors to prime your mind with the miracle of metaphor to take you to the next level of leadership.
For example, leadership is like a penny:
- it makes cents
- it often is ignored or undervalued, and
- it doesn’t get you much anymore.
Any reader with a creative leadership metaphor is encouraged to post it in the comment section of this blog so other leaders can steal it can call it their own.
A penny for your thoughts…

… you land on your head about 50% of the time.
… few will pick you up if you fall down.

Leadership is like humility.
The people who want to be known for it usually have the least amount of it.
