Leadership Tip

Use Your Whole Heart

Some people believe that leaders have to be either kind or tough. You can be both. In fact, I urge you to never wear a mask to hide who you really are. Use your whole heart to compassionately lead your team and articulate your high expectations. The duality reflects your humanity. Don't think that something is wrong if you have colleagues who don't share your conviction or encourage your zest for authentic leadership. (Bryan Williams)
