Michael: Did you ever feel lonely at the top?
5
:Having to figure things out on your own?
6
:To plan every move, solve every
problem, make every choice?
7
:Many leaders believe their job
is to have all those answers.
8
:But what if that belief is the
very thing holding them back?
9
:I think the times are long gone when
being a leader meant having to be
10
:the one who has all the answers.
11
:It's not about leading that way anymore.
12
:Leadership is going from leading
the way to lighting the path, making
13
:the destination unmistakably clear.
14
:This is where we are headed.
15
:And then explaining why it matters.
16
:This is why it's worth the effort.
17
:And then helping your team
believe in themselves.
18
:You've got what it takes to get there.
19
:You don't need to plan every detail.
20
:You don't need to carry the weight alone.
21
:Just define the goal, trust your
team to find the way, and then give
22
:them the nudge they need to overcome
hesitancy and rise to the challenge.
23
:When they succeed, it will perhaps feel
like their success, but I guarantee you
24
:they'll never forget who lit the way.
25
:So keep lighting the path.
