Safi Bahcall (Author, Physicist & Former CEO, Synta Pharmaceuticals)
Safi Bahcall explains his term the Moses trap as it relates to leadership. He talks about how too many leaders manage as if they were a powerful figure like Moses rather than a gardener who nurtures all team members equally. According to Bahcall, leaders often glorify the stars or “artists” within a company and ignore the “soldiers” doing the work to keep the company running. He points out it is important to respect all teams equally.
