“The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality.”

The Challenges of Leadership
The more obvious issue with leadership is when it turns into an abuse of power, a tool for control and manipulation as a platform for self-promotion.
However, Shane has observed that this done intentionally is the exception rather than the rule.
More often it is an outcome of reliance on old world strategies in an attempt to not show weakness, emulate absolute confidence and be distinctly decisive. When in reality, leaders are navigating their own fears, doubts and overwhelm.
Why? Because they’re human.
This is often forgotten in organizational group dynamics, causing self-limiting structures to stifle energized progress towards ideal outcomes.
“Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.” — Harry S. Truman
Be the Change
As a leader, having the strength and courage to acknowledge this vulnerability, even internally, will revolutionize the impact you have galvanizing your teams.
Effectively harness the understanding that comes with this awareness, and you unlock a whole other level of performance, innovation and invested ownership in the people you lead and how they lead your teams.
