Elon Musks misadventures with DOGE might be the ultimate example of a powerful flaw in how we think about leaders.
Thats our tendency to believe skills and accomplishments are portable, that someone who excels in one venue will be just as impressive in others.
I call this exceptional - if imaginary - superpower omni-genius.In reality, though, success doesnt exist without context.
While theres no pleasure in watching Musk make a mess of the US government, maybe it will help clarify the crucial link between the two.
