Lead Where You Stand

Ten minutes into his first meeting as chief, he walked out. Not from a fire. From a room full of people he thought were friends. What he did in the next five minutes - standing in a hallway, sick to his stomach - decided the rest of his leadership. You are already leading someone. A child. A crew. A team that watches what you do far more closely than what you say. The only question is whether you are doing it on purpose.
