Lonely is The Limitless Leader

always be accountable decision making leadership of self Apr 26, 2022

One of my mentors once quipped that it is lonely at the top, however you are never alone. Another leader I had worked with shared: 'the further you go up the ladder, the more your a$$ shows' . If you are blessed to work with a team, you know decisions are being made to achieve the vision you have casted. However, there are those decisions that only you can make. The larger your team, the tougher those decisions become once they reach you. You are called to make those decisions because the team cannot. Therefore the decision and its outcomes, positive or negative, are yours.

Limitless Leader's Principle #3: Always Be Accountable.
Mindset #3: The Buck Stops Here'

It is indeed lonely, however you must remember that you are not alone. You teammates have provided you their insights, their observations, their reasonings, their point of views and their recommendations. However the decision is yours and yours alone. It must be made. And when it is, it is made in the loneliest of place.

Be joyful within and in need of no external assistance or peace provided by others. In other words you must stand straight, not be straightened. 

Marcus Aurelius - Meditations 2:5
as translated by Robin Waterfield

You must get comfortable that things pass. Never let your emotions linger. The quicker it passes from your heart to your head out through your extremities, the more centered you will be. More efficient.

The sage isn't sentimental, either; She views all forms as ephemeral and transitional.
Simply stay at the center of the circle.

Tao Te Ching - Chapter 5
