Let’s be honest about this: Most accidental leaders have a
pretty rocky time of it. Many of them freak out, change their
styles all around, try desperately to hide their managerial
weaknesses, and generally come across as nervous, not-readyfor-
prime-time wrecks. The costs of this rockiness are huge:
Lost time for the company or project, which translates to
missed opportunities
• Bewildered colleagues who wonder why you don’t just tell
them what to do
• And toasted careers for the leaders who couldn’t lead
(because when they fail, they don’t usually slink back to
their earlier positions—they’re often through with the
organization forever)
