Thanks for what you’ve brought forth Peter. This sentence jumped at me: It is easier for the leader because they can indulge in their narcissism. Undoubtedly there are leaders feeding their narcissism through their roles. I suggest they are the minority. My experience is that many are navigating life to the best of their wiring/capabilities/knowledge; some surprised at where they find themselves. Conscious and unconscious motivators and circumstances have led them to the present; struggling under outdated and somewhat meaningless metrics within broken institutions. Let us also take some responsibility for current leaders. Raised in a culture of looking outside ourselves for answers, we’ve placed people on pedestals – a move that serves no one. This journey is for all of us. I look forward to a world where we deepen our understanding of who and what we are; where more step forward as leaders; where hosting becomes a natural part of leading.
This journey is for all
