The Transformational Leader

If you want to step into the realm of transformational leadership, you have to be aware that fear and possibility will always show up in equal and opposite countermeasure to each other. In other words, the more you step into the unknown, the more fear will show up. Without this awareness, there's always the tendency to trade in paradigm shifting breakthroughs just to alleviate fear. So how do you...

While unknown to many, vulnerability is an integral ingredient in any transformational leadership. When you as a leader is not willing to be vulnerable, you cannot expect to create any transformation.

While your inability to be vulnerable will not destroy your leadership, it will...

And what happe...

While not allowing yourself to b...

Without making any mistakes, you'll...

Most people (powerful leaders included), have their intentions collapsed with their impact.

While rarely used as a metric to judge leadership, well-being plays a crucial role in how a leader shows up. Come to think of it, leaders who put their well-being in the back burner will flame out sooner or later.

Many people (leaders included) often associate cheerleading with injecting positivity. At first glance, it would seem like any leadership can benefit from cheerleading. However, while a little cheerleading won't hurt, too much cheerleading can be counterproductive. Why? It won't allow people to experience anything labelled as negative. Repressing negative emotions will create resentment and contem...
