Ordinary Leadership (attached article by Susan Skjei) begins with an intimate knowledge of who we are and a willingness to open up to our world in stead of controlling it. (It is ordinary) ..because it is available to each one of us on the spot. … it is simple yet demanding, because it requires the ability to let engage and let go at the same time.

The antidote to (the existing problems with leadership) is vulnerability, telling the truth, and honoring what is genuine. Being a leader is lonely. Not just because it’s ‘lonely at the top’ but because we are willing to stay open to problems, experience them fully and see how we are contributing to them rather than laming anyone else, This is our strength and power. We can understand fully because we are engaged and not separate. …. We don’t have ot manipulate anything; we simply have to liberate any fixtion that is occurring moment to moment. It is a dance, not a march.
