Intro

This entry reconstructs how organisations in the early 21st century misidentified leadership failure as an individual problem while the actual destabilisation originated from structural overload. It analyses decision concentration, escalation dependency, operational compensation, and leadership saturation, explaining why many systems did not collapse because leaders were incompetent, but because organisations continuously redirected unresolved structure into human decision-making. Key concepts include decision density, structural dependency, operational escalation, compensatory leadership, organisational fragility, and distributed responsibility failure.
