One thing I've observed is that the best organizational problem solvers are excellent at considering 2nd- and 3rd-order consequences (a fancy term for looking beyond the immediate outcome of a decision or action).

A couple decades ago, the primary issue was simply that many organizations weren’t providing management training at all. People got promoted into leadership with a “Welcome to management, good luck” approach.

The practice of non-attachment in leadership is the practice of recognizing, again and again, that this simply is not true. We don’t need to prove, defend, or force.
