The Community of Leaders
November 20, 2013
"Leaders today are yearning for something more meaningful. The reason is for many of us, the experience of leadership has been mediocre at best. Think of your own experience. There's a good chance you and your fellow leaders haven't been on the same page because strategic clarity has been low. You spend too much time working at cross-purposes. Or maybe the primary focus is on protecting turf and competing internally, silo against silo. Conflict seems to run rampant. Frustration is high, and getting anything done feels next to impossible. Or your experience may be one of sheer apathy, where there is little energy or vitality. You and your fellow leaders seem to only be going through the motions, bystanders cloaked with fancy leadership titles. It's exhausting and often demoralizing. Whatever the experience, you may end up questioning why you ever became a leader in the first place. You also know deep down that there has to be a better way. I'm here to tell you that there is."
