And people keep getting that wrong. A good leader never makes a decision, they coordinate people."   "These days nobody should be allowed into any engineering software role without training in ethics because the implications of what we're doing in technology are really scary. And I think the trouble with Facebook, I think less Apple with the Apple vs Facebook confrontation is really interesting. Facebook, has never been immoral, they're amoral. And that's actually far scarier because they're not concerned about the implications of what they're doing."   "Knowledge management is interesting, that moment is coming back into play. It is like knowledge management goes through this cycle of being fashionable."   "So this cult of the individual leader, I think is actually deeply worrying because what you get is either a rigid process or this inspirational leader. And that's actually really bad science because most of the time leadership can be distributed." "Facebook has never been immoral, they're amoral. And that's actually far scarier because they're not concerned about the implications of what they're doing."    --- Follow Dave Snowden here:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-snowden-2a93b/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/snowded   Website: https://www.cognitive-edge.com/   Managing complexity in times of crisis Field Guide: https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC123629   --Follow Passion Struck on Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/passion_struck_podcast   -- Combat veteran, multi-industry CEO, and Author John R.
