I love the leaders I work with as a Coach and a dialogue facilitator. I mean I love them as the individuals they are.
So often these wonderful works of art just try too hard. We each have unique strengths that we use unconsciously. And if used too long in the unconscious manner, we over-apply them. A particular strength can become the hammer that is used too often and begins to see everything as a nail (I believe it was Maslow who said something like that).
In this pattern of overuse, we subsequently become blind to other strengths and miss out on the benefits of acting from a conscious balance. We see everyone from our own context thus putting an inordinate amount of tension on our relationships and our own core.
Find a conscious balance in you own core. Relax into who you really are. Give yourself a break.
