What isolation is limiting your relationships? How would your closest friends describe your relationship building acumen?
Fearless warrior in the picket fenceDeep water diver in the kiddie pool
Leadership is the enablement and engagement of people in a collective convergent activity
From what do the might hide? Conquest without contribution is without significance – to be authentically powerful, leaders must do that which they strive so strenuously against – surrender. Everything begins and ends with purpose and meaning. Eventually leaders must come face to face with their own purposeful surrender. We trap value in our organizations because we first trap value in ourselves. While people do not change that much, people do mature, and the key to maturity as a leader is flexibility.
The universal symbol for surrender is kneeling – what do we kneel to, bow to within the leadership construct – ourselves or something greater (purpose)?What position is to hierarchy, submission is to relationship. Relationship and hierarchy are antonyms. Leaders that rely on the position, destroy their leadership. 1984 Footloose
