Being emotionally detached from really stupid leadership decisions is harder than it seems
Took me a lot of years to not think it's my company that is being run into the ground. I should not - and nowadays could not - care any less.
You mean "my responsibility", right?
The book The Responsibility Virus helped me a lot with this. Most people are over-responsible for the choices of others, specifically ones they can't reasonably influence, anyway.
I found out that https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-or-the-office-according-to-the-office/ explains a lot of the dysfunctions that one finds in an office / corporate environment.
