CEO Blog: When You're Leading - It's Not About You

Consider it one of the many paradoxes of leadership: It starts with the leader, but it's never about the leader. Although leaders in business, politics, and other arenas shoulder tremendous responsibility, the focus can never be on them. They are stewards--servants, really--of a greater whole known as the community, the nation, the organization. That doesn't make the job any easier, of course; in fact, it makes it all the more complex.
