Chad Silverstein gives a short, personal reflection on the emotional costs of leadership: leaders often feel isolated, experience changed interpersonal dynamics (people behave differently around them), and must accept painful sacrifices as part of their responsibility. He emphasizes accepting these costs rather than reacting with surprise or bitterness.

Chapters

The one thing you don't hear a lot of leaders talk about are the sacrifices that they have to make. It's one thing to be an entrepreneur and to start your own business, and it comes with its own set of challenges. But to lead and to lead anything is hard. It's hard because you'll find yourself feeling like you're alone on an island. You know the last to find out about everything. And people change when you're in their presence because you maybe can control their employment or you're in control of their pay. And you really can tell a lot about people when you're not their leader anymore. If the relationship was genuine and if it was sincere. On your way to becoming a really strong, core, centered leader. And you have to make these sacrifices that all the other people around you probably don't have to make and can't understand what it's like. You can't be so surprised. You can't be so bitter about it. You have to accept and be responsible for the fact that you're in a leadership role. And the bottom line is you're going to have to make sacrifices, and some of those sacrifices are going to hurt.
