A Letter To The Discouraged Leader
Dear Discouraged Leader,
I know you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing. Like you don’t have a clue where to start, and you’re not sure if you’re doing it right.
You saw how your predecessor did it and you feel like you could never reach that level. You keep trying to keep your head above water, but every time you do someone hands you another 5 pound weight.

Despite all of that, I have something to tell you: you’re doing better than you think.
I talk to leaders of all ages, and one of the things I’ve noticed is that the ones who feel most discouraged have 2 things in common:
1. They’re new to their leadership role.
2. They’re comparing themselves to another leader.
