Have you ever felt like you needed to defend your leadership principles or approach? Or where the momentum and status quo seems to be counter to your goals? You would not be alone. Once during a tense re-organization discussion, I was warned that “We have real leaders here. Not ones that focus on the fluffy stuff you do.
