This is an excerpt from a YouTube interview (Mick Unplugged) with Ken Coleman about leadership and personal development. Coleman describes operating in a "sweet spot" (where key factors align) as essential for effective leadership, and advises leaders to recognize misalignment, make changes or delegate tasks, and lead by example so their teams follow suit.

Because now, armed with the awareness of okay, now I realize why I've been so frustrated and I come home and I kicked my dog three times last week, you know, or was short with my wife or my kids, or why I felt like I needed a drink. At the end of the day, this is real. Because if you aren't operating in what I call the sweet spot where all three of these come together, let me tell you something, you're dragging that stuff home with you, and it's leaking out of you at the office. So you begin to make the changes that you can make, or you begin to plan to make the changes to where you eliminate, delegate, or hire for it. And then you get to a place where you go, oh, now I'm operating, you know, about three fourths of my day in that sweet spot, if you will. And, boy, what a game changer.

Leading by example is what I would say, and that's exactly how I would coach them.
