The best leaders are resolute in their self-awareness and presence.

  • Such leaders really see themselves – with clarity and balanced self-respect. They hide from nothing. And they recognize all the ways they can get caught in their emotions, habitual ways of seeing themselves and others, and their blind spots.
  • True awareness for such leaders also means deeply understanding their environments – including the myriad vulnerabilities of others and the nuanced political sensitivities all around them.
