Walking into a room as a leader means developing patience to follow arrows when what you really want is an answer. It means knowing the difference between peace and avoidance. It means learning how to make decisions because it’s time, not because you feel ready. And it means developing the practice of waiting even when you’re ready but you know it isn’t time. It means knowing and naming when something has ended, developing a practice of creating the closure you need, and honoring the closure you’ll never get.
