Leading While Limping

Who can honestly say that they’ve never found themselves telling their peers how they “love” their leader, and then almost immediately following that statement up with a negative trait their leader possess: “I love their leadership, but they’re highly inflexible…they refuse to deviate from the book even when it’s necessary…they’re constantly requesting progress reports?”

Does this sound like one of the leaders you’ve encountered in your life or like your current leader? Of course, it does!

Whether you like it or not there’s nothing unusual about your leader having imperfections or inadequacies, they’re only human. Being a great leader isn’t determined through flawlessness. What makes a leader great is having a firm grasp of personal hang-ups, personal and professional issues, and inadequacies that influences their leadership methods.

Leaders who are great are those who’ve established how to lead with a limp.
