Max De Pree says, “leadership is serious meddling in other people’s lives” (Leadership Jazz, p. 7). He’s right. As leaders, we hold power to hurt, to move, to wait, to heal, to embarrass, to encourage, to disrupt individuals, families, whole communities. Playing god is unavoidable but should always make us tremble. May we always strive for kindness, for generosity, for strength.
