\"\"It seems more than ever we are enamored with the idea, or should I say, ideal<\/em> of leadership.\u00a0 More books, podcasts, and conversations are held about leadership than ever.\u00a0 And yet leadership is far less complicated than we might think.\u00a0 And for that very reason, multiple leaders and maybe even you, are at risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leadership is about the leader.\u00a0 I know that flies in the face of conventional wisdom.\u00a0 But here’s what I mean.\u00a0 Leaders lead from within<\/strong>, eventually.\u00a0 Yes, we may adopt tactics, styles, and strategies of leaders we admire, but leadership is dome in the trenches every day, over time, where the routine grinds us down to our real essence.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s why leaders who hide behind the latest fad are always at risk.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 It’s because leadership is about projecting and extending into a movement or organization, what you are<\/strong>.\u00a0 If you are empty, mad, and burnt-out on the inside, more than you know, that’s exactly what you are reflecting on the outside.<\/span><\/p>\n

So more than ever, we must give attention not to leadership, but to the leader.\u00a0 As leaders, we have a long journey ahead of us.\u00a0 Our well-being, our health is key to the health and success of our movements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaders are notorious for going so fast, and doing so much that they ultimately self-destruct.\u00a0 You’re at risk of that too.\u00a0 And if you think you’re not, you’re even more at risk than you know.<\/span><\/p>\n

So here is the greatest risk you face today as a leader.\u00a0 It’s not your organization.\u00a0 It’s not market forces. It’s not even the deadbeat employees that you’re trying to get rid of.\u00a0 It’s you.\u00a0 As long as you are healthy, vital, vibrant, and growing; as long as you’re passionate to the core about what it is you’re doing, you and your movement can face any storm<\/strong>, and can navigate any sea change.\u00a0 Short of that, before long, you’re going to be dead.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
