Consultant Robert "Dusty" Staub on the courage to face our current reality: “Why do so many intelligent people miss the obvious, focusing on what they wish to be true versus what is currently true and staring them in the face?

The best leaders I know are extremely disciplined people – they simply do the things others are not willing to do. It’s much easier for most people to refine their areas of giftedness and revel in the admiration of being a high achiever than it is to be honest about their shortcomings.
