I got fired. I was labeled a tyrant. I had to rebuild myself as a leader from the ground up. And I'm telling you, that was the most important work I've ever done. Not because I had to, because I chose to. You don't have to wait for a crisis to make that choice. You do not have to hit a wall to decide that the leader you are today is not the leader you were meant to be. You can make that decision right now. Today, in this moment, discover who you truly are, confront what has been holding you back, and shed what no longer serves you so you can create the leader you were always meant to be, and then accelerate because your team needs it, your organization wants it, and frankly, you deserve it.
