I’ve been thinking a lot about “relational leadership” and I don’t even really know what that means (if anyone does, please help me out). But i am convinced that it means at least a lot of time spent with each other. I am also convinced that it means that we have to rely on our relationships to move things forward and not structures. The problem is, i’m not perfect (shocking isn’t it!). So i mess up, and hurt people, and have mixed motives that I can’t even unravel myself, much less expect anyone else to be able to decipher. And I let my own insecurities pop up at in-opportune times.
And yet I am convinced that it is the only way to move forward. What matters most are the relationships we form and the people we are able to pour ourselves into.
But i still want to get stuff done.
Like I said, this stuff is hard.
