A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube Short by Ashish Kothari arguing that people seek achievement because being stretched and supported gives life meaning; telling and sharing stories of rising to challenges reinforces leadership and passes that leadership approach on to others.
We know we seek achievement in our life no matter what we do, Right. As much as the world would like you to believe everybody wants to be a couch potato and just sit and left to their devices, want to do nothing. Nobody does. They want to do things that make sense, that matter, and they want to achieve. And so this notion of achievement, right, which is like, hey, I'm going to stretch you, I am going to support you, that gives you meaning. We are excited to come home and tell. I'm sure even now she tells stories to everybody about that moment.
Yes.
How she rose to the challenge and what it meant for her.
Exactly. And then she does that now for other people, too, because she knows how much it mattered and how great it felt. And so this is the kind of leadership that she has implemented in her own leadership style.
