Description
Intro
– Final Episode: You have to know when to abdicate the focus of leadership and only be a shepherd.
– Don’t fully know how to explain this, so may leave people confused, but I’ll do my best.
Examples
– My family is more in need of my shepherding than my leadership.
– My friends do not value my leadership ability, they value me personally. To choose to lead in that environment is to damage the friendship.
– In crisis, the organization needs to see I’m more concerned about if we’re good than if we’re great.
– Not “appear” to care, actually care.
Point
– Organizations need leaders who care about the organization and the individual. Prioritize Both.
– Personal Lives need people who care most.
– When you only know how to lead your personal life will fall apart.
