Our leadership needs to be intentional. Knowledge or being merely the expert isn’t enough. It starts with how we lead ourselves.

Have you had a terrible boss / client?
What’s really p*ssed you off in the past?

Turn it on it’s head - rather than just ignore or avoid that situation. One of the things I deeply love about my faith (and find equally tough!) - is being challenged to work in the opposite spirit.

If someone is interacting with me in any of the ways mentioned above - how would I treat them in return or model a different way of working towards others? Being the opposite is powerful and unoffended.

It might even change a work culture.
