First sentence: We have all seen leaders go to counterproductive extremes: when devotion to consensus-seeking slows decision making to a crawl, when a leader's fertile mind results in repeated changes in direction, when a dedication to high-quality work turns a supervisor into a stickler for detail, when keen consideration for others degenerates into ineffectual niceness, when a willingness to go the extra mile leads to burnout.
