Leading Through the Hard
Preview:
I was talking with my daughter and her friend, both relatively new to the workforce, about the challenges and rewards of being a university president. As I was regaling them with anecdotes from the past and sharing my greatest joys, I added that as a leader in any industry, you are really just “choosing your hard.” To lead is challenging, but hopefully, you’re choosing the hard that fulfills your life’s purpose and furthers the common good.
