Idiossincrasias e variabilidade

Este artigo "The One Type of Leader Who Can Turn Around a Failing School" sobre o tipo de lideranças nas escolas inglesas é muito interessante e, só por isso merece ser lido. Perceber como diferentes tipos de personalidade da liderança geram diferentes prioridades e diferentes consequências.
.
Depois, fazer o paralelismo para as empresas e perceber a distribuição de produtividades e rentabilidades intrasectorial como uma função da idiossincrasia da sua liderança.
.
BTW, de sublinhar a descrição acerca dos líderes Filósofos:
"Philosophers are passionate about teaching and love debating the merits of alternative approaches.
...
They spend as much of their time as possible with other teachers debating and discussing alternative teaching methods. They’re somewhat elitist (although they’d never admit it) and believe teachers are far more important than the people who support them or the students they teach.
.
Teachers are very excited when the Philosopher first arrives, as she or he tells them how important their work is and how much value they add to society. They start going on trips to observe other teachers and invite teachers to their school, to share ideas and approaches. But fundamentally, nothing changes. Students carry on misbehaving, parents are still not engaged, and performance – both financial and examination results – stays the same. When asked why performance hasn’t improved, the Philosopher says, “These things take time. Teaching is an art and it can’t be transformed overnight.”
.
In the two to three years the Philosopher leads the school, teachers become increasingly frustrated as they’re still having to manage poor behavior and fill out forms. There are no significant improvements during the Philosopher’s tenure and performance — both examination results and financial — coasts or declines after they leave.
...
The Philosophers were the most publicly recognized leaders in our study,
...
Philosophers would be seen as ineffectual debaters (not inspirational leaders) who talk a good game, but have no impact."
Faz-me lembrar muitos políticos cheios de teorias da treta e que não gostam de sujar as mãos na realidade e que estão sempre em guerra com a Aritmética
