Coach's Corner - Community

Sadly, everywhere I go, I meet leaders who feel lonely. As someone once said, “It’s lonely at the top.” Most leaders can appreciate the truth of that statement, and yet it doesn’t have to be that way. Loneliness is a choice.

As a leader, the most important thing you have is your people. While the temptation for a leader is to insulate and isolate him- or herself from the outside world, giving in to this temptation is a mistake.

This week on the podcast, we’re discussing community. I want to remind you: please don’t neglect the worth of the people around you. Listen to their stories, value their opinions, and foster their dreams. If you do, you won’t have to be lonely at the top. You can choose a better way – the way of relationships.
