Lead from Within

MARCH 9, 2021

You may find it difficult to even think about intentionally sharing time with others, but it’s an important element of leadership.

Many leaders don’t know—or don’t want to know—about the dumb things they do that drive their people crazy.

We are living through a crisis with no modern-day precedent. We need people who can help others overcome their weakness and fear and come together to do better, more difficult things than any one of them could do on their own.

Many organizations operate out of the belief that people in leadership need a tough mindset to be effective. Don’t take anything they say to heart; remember that what they’re saying and doing is a reflection on them, not you.
