Welcome to Embers and Wind!

Keith Weedman asserts: “A leader is always accountable for the results, for what happens in response to the words they say and the actions they take. The story that I told you earlier that happened when I was 27 years old; I consider her crying, then sobbing, and then lashing out at me as criticism. It is useful for me to utilize that as feedback and look for value. What can I learn from what happened? I know that I brought less than the best out of her…. You could say that a leader is accountable, at any given moment, to bring the best out of the people they lead.”
