Jerry Colonna has written a fantastic post about becoming a leader over on AVC.com.
I’ve probably read this post 3 times so far this week. My favorite part is the story about the Buddhist saint Milarepa and the cave demons. It’s a powerful story of self-reflection and as Jerry says, “acknowledging the ways you contribute to [a] problem without descending into pointless self-flagellation adds to the heat beneath the crucible. Without heat, there is no alchemy.”
Powerful stuff. If you haven’t had the chance, head on over to AVC.com and check it out.
