Most ego-centric leaders have a big heart that competes with career ambitions, fear, and security.

 

Truth be told, most (ego-centric) leaders aren’t fond of me.

This used to bother me.

A lot.

So much so that i tried to change.

And in a way, i did, without selling out.

The creative solution (to keep personal integrity intact) is simply to only ask them questions if they ask for input.

Nothing asked, nothing offered.

Safe.

Meanwhile, writing became the outlet for asking uninvited questions.

Questions every leader should have a ready, instantaneous answer to, but, remarkably, don’t.
