The Essence of Prepared Leadership
Being a prepared leader requires a fundamental shift away from protecting one's ego towards embracing vulnerability and resilience. The authors argue that leaders must choose between being prepared or being protective; these two approaches cannot coexist. They emphasize the importance of acknowledging human emotions and barriers that hinder effective leadership, particularly in times of crisis. This acknowledgment assists leaders in crafting actionable strategies to navigate challenges, fostering an environment where readiness prevails over defensiveness.
