People avoid leadership responsibility for many different reasons. Perhaps the most powerful reason is that true leadership involves the most humbling personal sacrifice. The good work of evaluating comparative risk can be undermined by basic human frailty. Today’s article takes another look at the challenge of choosing. Much of the criticism leveled at today’s business leaders is called for, but there is one aspect of leadership responsibility that is poorly understood. Leaders are compensated for making decisions – frequently very difficult decisions with no clear right answer. Today’s blog explores this idea. For those of us who are or aspire to be leaders, the choice must be about more than the increased paycheck. The choice must be about having a passion to lead, a belief that you can make a positive difference, and a willingness to be criticized, disliked, and argued with for the sake of progress. |
