Fire, Water, and the Next Step: A Leadership Framework in 3 Steps
In this Part 2 of my ongoing “Fire and Water” dialogue with my buddy, we explored what happens after the venting.
We often stop there, at the catharsis. But leadership demands something more. In moments of emotional vulnerability, there’s a call to:
2. Vent honestly
3. Then, be responsible
This 3-step framework is something I first learned more than two decades ago in a leadership development program. We unpack Steps 2 and 3 in the video below.
But Step 1? That’s where the real power lies. It’s what makes the catharsis meaningful and the responsibility sustainable.
If you’re curious to know what that first step is, feel free to reach out to me.
