What a mess this is - thank you!
Question: Why do leaders create messes?
Answer: Because if they don't no one else is going to.
Question: So why do we need messes?
Answer: Because they disorient us enough to pay attention to our environment, and in doing so we get to notice what we have been "putting up with" that is no longer a fit for the present situation, or a match for what we are out to create.
Leaders, can often get blamed for creating a mess, e.g. disrupting the status quo, or the mindless drifting off course. And, that's exactly what they get paid to do - they get paid to keep bringing the organization forward, in the direction of their "potential" future. What good is potential when not acted on? Realizing potential is what leaders do - for themselves, others and the business.
Next - How do you clean up the mess once you've created it.
