Steward Leadership starts with leading oneself before leading others, balancing self-leadership and team leadership, and unleashing human potential holistically.
“Empathy without boundaries is self-destruction.”
– Unknown
While empathy is a valuable trait, over-identifying with someone’s suffering, especially when it forms their identity, can lead to emotional exhaustion and a skewed perception of life’s realities that skews your ability to lead effectively.
“Don’t spend too much time around someone whose primary way of engaging with life is as a martyr. When suffering becomes your identity, you only see the hard parts of life.”
– Adam Grant
