A boss who believes leadership is purely about their position and rank often misses the mark when it comes to the true essence of leading a team. This type of leader frequently confuses authority with influence, wielding their title as a tool for command rather than a platform for inspiration.

We’ve all had bosses who micromanage. This behavior, though often well-intentioned, can suffocate creativity and stifle growth.

Whether the root cause is a lack of trust or a compulsive desire to oversee every detail, the consequences are consistently damaging.

Change is hard. The truth is, most people resist it. Whether personal or professional, people are wired to avoid the discomfort of stepping out of their routine. Why? Because sticking to “the way it’s always been done” feels safe, familiar, and less risky. But here’s the reality: Change is inevitable.

The lack of public safety on the LA Metro system has reached a breaking point. The rising wave of violent incidents is no longer just a concern—it is a crisis that demands immediate and decisive action.
