What’s hard is true, spiritual leadership. I’m talking about the kind of leadership that comes from your soul.

Manage the tasks; lead the [...]

It’s not enough to just ‘tell’ people that something has to be done. A story has to be a part of that telling, and that story has to be repeated. Often. Clearly. Consistently. The most successful messages are a story. The best stories are personal. If you make the story your own as part of [...]
