It only makes sense that insecure leaders recruit with promises, replace resources with optics, and manage by triangulation, inflating favorites and belittling threats while calling it coaching. When the product is image, truth feels like sabotage, so metrics get revised and history reshaped to flatter the boss. The counter is simple and effective. Stop auditioning for access. Move value into artifacts like deliverables, timelines, written recaps, and stakeholder receipts. Route feedback through channels that timestamp reality, not through rooms where performance is graded on praise density.
