Big hat, no cattle. This is a Texas put-down for someone who is all talk and no action with no substance of power behind their words. We see this as just another form of the Imposter Syndrome. Not only do we see this with leaders, but we see this now with entire organizations as well.  Here are some quotes on this very subject:

“Trust in CEOs has plunged because it is seen as all hat and no cattle… The idea that we can talk and not do is over. The idea that we can have purpose through promises is over. Because it is going to require action to build trust.”—Richard Edelman, CEO, Edelman

“Of the Fortune 100 companies, only 56 have actually articulated what can be called a purpose or a mission.” —Janeen Gelbart, CEO, Indiggo

Both of these quotes sum up what we discuss in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
