Michael: Did you ever feel lonely at the top?

5

:

Having to figure things out on your own?

6

:

To plan every move, solve every

problem, make every choice?

7

:

Many leaders believe their job

is to have all those answers.

8

:

But what if that belief is the

very thing holding them back?

9

:

I think the times are long gone when

being a leader meant having to be

10

:

the one who has all the answers.

11

:

It's not about leading that way anymore.

12

:

Leadership is going from leading

the way to lighting the path, making

13

:

the destination unmistakably clear.

14

:

This is where we are headed.

15

:

And then explaining why it matters.

16

:

This is why it's worth the effort.

17

:

And then helping your team

believe in themselves.

18

:

You've got what it takes to get there.

19

:

You don't need to plan every detail.

20

:

You don't need to carry the weight alone.

21

:

Just define the goal, trust your

team to find the way, and then give

22

:

them the nudge they need to overcome

hesitancy and rise to the challenge.

23

:

When they succeed, it will perhaps feel

like their success, but I guarantee you

24

:

they'll never forget who lit the way.

25

:

So keep lighting the path.
