For many years, management trends have been sold as the ultimate truth. However, the era of fashionable saviors, grand promises, and short-term success rhetoric is coming to an end. What is now needed is a way for companies to achieve long-term change. In a time of economic upheaval, apparent complexity, and overwhelming uncertainty, a reliable anchor is necessary—something dependable rather than a thousand flags in the wind. One cannot shape a future with the nonsense of banal managerial propaganda and superficial success guides! Therefore, the authors question what managers truly need to be able to do: make decisions, provide direction, organize, trust, and stay alert. They emphasize a return to the core responsibilities of a manager and the mindset with which we lead companies. Revenue is not a goal but rather the result of effective leadership actions, the authors assert.
