Leadership Contrasts and Self-Awareness

The Leader You Want to Be - I love this book and was so grateful that author Amy Jen Su joined the Greatness podcast to share her amazing insights on leadership. In the book, Amy discusses "Leader A" and "Leader B", a realistic discussion of the good and bad days we all have as leaders. When consulting with leaders, I have them describe the "great" leader they aspire to be, and articulate their intentional plan to  grow and develop in a way that allows them to consistently show up as their best selves. As Amy says, it is not about being "superhuman". It's about being present and "maintaining access to our best selves".
