The Power of Fear?
Every human being matters. Every person deserves to be led by someone who sees the best in them and will even sacrifice for them.

As a leader, one of my highest callings is to point people toward a better, healthier way to view the world.
‘When’ quickly pushes the positive action that I should start today into the future.
And I don’t think we talk enough about how our feelings impact leadership. So here are two questions I have been thinking about in this regard.
When goats see greener pastures, they go for it. They don’t talk themselves out of going for what they want. They don’t list the reasons why is safer to stay put. They push the boundaries. They pursue their goal.
In the messy middle, things often look and feel worse than when you started, and that’s when leadership becomes critical.
Notice I suggest WHAT, not WHY. WHY is a bigger question than WHAT and often causes people to overthink and get defensive.
My natural inclination is to focus on the things I didn’t finish. This creates an internal narrative that I am doing something wrong or that I am lazy.
These characteristics were inherit before the Industrial Revolution, and it seems that we lost part of them when we started to “go to work.”
