It's not fake, it's not always honest — it’s selective storytelling. Sometimes it's aspirational. Sometimes it's just noise. But always, it draws attention away from messy reality and into a carefully lit spotlight. 💡🎤The authors argue that this talking-doing gap isn’t a leadership bug — it’s a feature. A systemic one. It helps managers feel good, look good, and seem like they’re doing good… even if actual change is slower, costlier, and way more complex. 🤔💼So, here’s the big question we’re leaving you with today:If leadership meta-talk is so powerful, can real leadership ever catch up to the stories we tell about it? 🧠💥🙏 Huge thanks to Thomas Fischer, Mats Alvesson, and the publishers — Society for the Advancement of Management Studies and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. — for this thought-provoking contribution to the field. 👏📚📢 Don’t forget to subscribe to this podcast "Revise and Resubmit" on Spotify, and check out our visual deep-dives on YouTube channel "Weekend Researcher".
