Staying open, curious, and committed to learning is a posture that actually defies the closed, competitive culture of our society. Getting to and remaining in such a space is all the more challenging for leaders, as there is a heightened expectation and heavily skewed focus towards producing.

But what if “doing,” became secondary to “being?” What if the competitive grind for output and productivity at all costs wasn’t the goal? What if the competitive, cut-throat, climb-over, blame-casting culture was replaced by the embrace of full personal responsibility for all of the circumstances of your life? What impact could you have if you were a leader who prioritized your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being over “well-doing?”
