I respect the servant leadership tradition. Stewardship does not require me to make it smaller. It asks me to extend the responsibility farther.
A production number can be accurate and still answer the wrong question. Leadership requires data, context, and responsibility to remain connected.

Leadership did not begin for me with a title, a degree, or a leadership book. It began in work, responsibility, pressure, mistakes, and the people who taught me before I knew what to call it.
