About This Quote
The structure of our identity determines how we show up as a leader, how we deploy ourselves into circumstances. This quote is a great reminder to leaders of all kinds. It’s not enough to be a leader; we must lead the way we want to be led. The people we lead may not always agree with us, but they can either follow our example or look for someone else who is more aligned with their view of the world.
