Leaders have a flair to dare. Both are possible and probable at the same time. Only if one dares to risk failure to win can one truly know the realization of a vision. Too many leaders acquiesce to their own fears and the fears of those around them. The nay Sayers of doom and gloom.
True leadership demands moving forward even when the improbable appears impossible.
Whether it's giving back to those that achieve, accomplish, sacrifice to get the job done for the organization or whether it is giving back to the environment to build a sustainable future for our children, leaders find a way to leave a meaningful legacy by acknowledging being a part of something larger than what they themselves have built. They display a humility that communicates their appreciation of all the forces that contributed to their success and that says that they understand the fragility and the limits of that success.
