Summary
Leadership is often painted as a discipline with clear-cut answers and definitive frameworks. Books and coaches may promise step-by-step programs that lead to guaranteed success. However, true leadership is far more complex and nuanced—it is an ever-evolving journey that demands humility, self-awareness, and a willingness to continually learn.
