A previous generation might have called this winning the battle but losing the war. Directing employees is harder than it looks, since past performance isn’t really an indication of how a leader will do in the future. As the authors say, "The half-life of knowledge grows ever shorter in most professions, requiring even high performers to unlearn what they know and do." The a
