they can tell you what leadership can do for you they can tell you how to develop leadership there's tons of books written on
on great leaders and leadership
but you won't see and what you will never see
is people talk about the costs
of leadership
and costs associated with leadership i should say if we truly want to be honest and upfront about leadership you can't ignore
the cost of leadership
great leaders are willing to accept those costs
and i want to share quickly three of those things three of the costs that are plastered on my desk right behind it that kind of caught me between the eyes last week number one you will have to make hard decisions that negatively affect people you care about
number two you will be disliked despite your best attempts to do the best for the most
and number three you will be misunderstood
and won't always have the opportunity to defend yourself
what it looks like
