Are you a leader because of the role you play or are you a leader because of the work you do?
Put another way: you were hired to do a job. Is that really your work?
Put another way: what is so alive in you, so energizing to you that it is worth doing no matter how it turns out?
That sounds less like a job and more like work. Your good work.
And it sounds an awful like what we need right now.
