In this episode, Enrique Acosta Gonzalez from Florida shares his powerful story of navigating leadership challenges during his early years in the Navy. He reflects on the complexities of leadership, especially when success is perceived differently by others. Enrique describes how a leader who appeared highly successful to some was causing personal turmoil for him. He introduces the concept of "sucK-cess," where external success can mask internal brokenness. This experience led him to explore the true meaning of success – one that aligns both internal fulfillment and external achievements. As Enrique shares personal moments, he highlights that real success is defined by meaningful relationships and the fulfillment that comes from making a difference in the lives of others.
Enrique emphasizes that as leaders, we're facilitators, helping people see the next step. While we provide knowledge, examples, and personal stories, the decision to move forward lies with each individual. We discuss the importance of understanding that change is constant, and leaders must recognize their role in it. This includes knowing how change impacts their team members individually, addressing the impact appropriately, and ensuring they have the right resources to manage it.
