“We have a leadership problem.” ⚠️ Maria Brinck told our SACC-CO audience we’re all-in on the Outer Game (power, execution) and neglecting the Inner Game (wisdom, presence, empathy). The fix: ask “What does this moment require of me?” What does it require of you? #Leadership

One of the keys to decision-making (and decisiveness) is learning to trust ourselves more. Without self-trust, all of this can fall apart quickly. We don’t need to be perfect. We just need to apply ourselves consistently at getting better. #DecisionMaking #Decisiveness #PersonalGrowth
