Leading For Dignity And Wellbeing In A Time Of Dehumanization

There's a man I see nearly every day at the coffee shop I work from. At least once a week he asks me to remind him of my name. We've talked a few times, he's asked what I do, I've explained the nonprofit to him, and he's told me about his work as a civil engineer. We sit at the same big common table. When he arrives, he always looks at me like I'm a guy he used to know but is surprised to see again. But he can never remember my name.

Finding Our Footing For Leadership

Who do you think of when you think of a leader? Leaders can often take on a larger than life presence in our imagination. They become icons, representative of what it means to lead. But these icons are often made into caricatures, one-dimensional people from whom we draw some problematic lessons. I want to introduce you to three leaders who've drawn problematic lessons from their icons of leadership.
