To be a successful leader, you inherently put yourself in a fragile position. As you become a true leader, the fragility of your job becomes more pronounced. Now is a time to assess your effectiveness and inclusive leadership. It is also the time to build stronger relationships.
In a way, leadership is like a delicate car engine. The power exists, and it does not. It is available once you turn the key, but it means nothing until driven. Much of its effect depends on the type of engine. The best leaders, like the best engines, inspire us to see new possibilities.
