The Ideal vs. The Real
One of the most honest parts of my conversation with Adam, together with Sean Murphy, was when we talked about the transition of leadership within a family business.
Adam described the challenge of moving from what you think leadership should look like to dealing with the realities of how your decisions affect other people.
He talked about wrestling with relational tensions, becoming more aware of the impact his decisions could have on others, and learning to navigate the difference between the ideal and the real.
I think that's something every leader eventually discovers.
Leadership isn't just about having a vision.
It's about understanding the wake your decisions create and taking responsibility for the people affected by them.
That made this conversation with Adam particularly meaningful for Sean and me.
