Letting go of emotion is easier than letting go of people.

Leadership is strengthening the hands of the strong

Kevin,

I agree completely with your thoughts on humility. Robert Greenleaf said that we are "Servant Leaders", strengthening the hands of the strong. In our leadership retreats, we discuss that it is not about 'telling' someone else what to do, it is about 'listening' to what they need help with. I cannot lead anyone if I do not truly believe they are strong and capable.
