Leadership • “Followers are often lost and even the leader is not sure where to go. All the leaders know is that the plan or the “map” they have in front of them is not sufficient to get them out. What the leader has to do, when faced with this situation, is instill some confidence in people, get them moving in some general direction, and be sure they look closely at cues created by their actions so that they learn where they were and get some better idea of where they are and where they want to be” (Weick, 1995, p. 55). Adapted from: Sensemaking in the Organization by Karl E. Weick, 1995, p. 55
