Most people at some point in their career will experience a “bad boss”. The term indicates everything to me that leadership is not supposed to be.

The best leadership book is the Bible. I’m convinced humility might be the most attractive leadership quality there is these days. Leadership is ultimately a product of the heart we have for others and the vision we’ve been called to lead. Looking back on my leadership career I’ve done this many times.
