At the time I was leading a not-for-profit organization and we had what I thought were big plans to make a big difference in the world. In order to fulfill our mission to make a difference in our city we needed some infrastructure improvements in our property, some additional staff, and some upgraded technology… a hefty reach for our budget but necessary for our purpose.
My Role
Like many leaders I have spent much of my energy dreaming up a worthy vision and trying to get others to join me in the chase. I want to do something significant, and I want to help others do the same. But what I’m discovering — finally in my fifth decade — is that my primary role as a leader is not to muster support for my vision, but to Love, which we define as:
Fighting for the highest possible good in the life of another.
