Episode #130 // As leaders, we expect most things to be logical. They should make sense to us, and be easy for us to explain to our people. And to a large extent this is true.

But we also can’t overlook the fact that some of the most important principles of success are actually counterintuitive, and we need to be able to hold this dissonance in our heads.

It’s in our nature to look for easy answers to the things that challenge us. The fact of it is, though, there are no silver bullets. Any ground we make as individuals and leaders is hard fought and won. Embracing this reality makes us stronger, but trying to bargain for an easier path will see us rooted where we are, eventually feeling like victims, and wondering why life is so unfair.
