When self-preservation backfires
2026-03-27 11:32 UTC by alearningaday

When you work with competent leaders – the ones who are genuinely in the details – any attempt at self-preservation has the opposite of the intended effect.

You might withhold knowledge to seem more valuable. Or obscure a problem to look good. Or try to spin a failure into a learning.

All of it backfires. Every time.

Competent leaders will see straight through.

Honesty, ownership, and a good attitude are a significantly better strategy.
