One of the characteristics of effective leadership is the ability to let go and release the conditions that block momentum. A Leader by nature, and by definition of the word, forge the uncharted path, take extreme risks and inspire followers in their ranks. Most of all, the great leaders in history…Joan of Arc, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Steve Jobs, Coco Chanel…all became respected leaders by their ability to let go.

A leader lets go of driving with ego instead of togetherness and connectivity.

A leader lets go of the fear of failure.

A leader lets go of being cheaper, faster, and automated.

A leader lets go of the need for reassurance.

A leader lets go of wounds created by judgement and criticism.

A leader lets go of shame and vulnerability.

A leader lets go of connecting with the masses in favor of touching the heart of the individual.
