In his Boundaries for Leaders book, Dr. Henry Cloud makes this statement, “As a leadership coach, one of the questions I always ask myself is, 'Does this leader lead in a way that is compatible with humans?'”
Every time I read this question, I laugh at how simple, yet profound it is.
In the whirlwind leadership, it’s easy for leaders to forget that they are leading fellow people -- human beings with hopes and dreams, griefs and struggles. These people are complex individuals (just like you and I) who have a lot more going on than what they present to others on the surface.
Yet, it’s what’s beneath the surface that’s most important.
