TO LEAD IS TO LIVE DANGEROUSLY WHEN LEADERSHIP COUNTS.
When you lead people through difficult change, you challenge what people hold dear with nothing more to offer perhaps than a possibility.
Moreover, leadership often means exceeding the authority you are given to tackling the challenges at hand.
People push back when you challenge the personal and institutional equilibrium they know. And people resist in all kind of creative and unexpected ways that can get you taken out of the game, pushed aside, undermined, or eliminated. But for us, people's mandate, no compromise.
