“The person who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.” – Anonymous

The ability to see the mountain and not ignore it is the first step of leadership. Leaders are clear on what is in front of them – they hear the truth, they are honest about their reaction, and they do not deny the reality before them.

With this clarity and truth, leaders can begin to define a way up, through, or around to continue in the direction of their dreams and/or vision.

To see the truth takes the following skills:

• Observe what is before you. Resist making up stories about why and what.
• Gain input from others on the experience. Do not judge their words or observations, only listen with openness.
• Define what is true for yourself.
• Ask for support, direction, help, or advice from others with experience.
• Map your path forward.
• Take the first step.

Leaders who practice the above are the ones who continue to lead a life uncommon…

Is this you?

Yours in success,
