Leaders, Tunnels, and Vision

Leaders and Tunnel Vision

Tunnel photo
When your thinking is stuck in a tunnel,

it’s the leader in you that finds a way out.

Seeing the tunnel and the light at the end of it

is what leaders recognize as opportunity.

Walking to the light invites others to follow.

What the leader called opportunity, others call vision.

Leaders and Higher Ground

by

Leaders and Higher Ground

Leader's Uphill Trail photo

There’s no person on the planet
who has not been a jerk.
That’s a fact.

Circumstances change.
People adapt.
Those are also facts.

Arguing with facts
wastes time and energy.
It’s not good practice
or effective leadership.

Leaders deal with facts about their weaknesses.
They work on building up their strengths.
Then they relace their shoes.

They keep on walking toward higher ground.
They don’t turn back.

They do all of this because that’s what leadership is.
It’s a harder hike, but the view is better.
