In the last podcast, we talked about how leaders do two things - they lead toward a vision and they manage the anxiety that shows up as they work to get deep commitment to that shared vision. In this episode we are going to dig a little deeper into the second part of that conversation - leaders managing anxiety in the face of the pursuit of a vision.

• Effective leaders learn to notice anxiety and see patterned ways they (and others) express it.
• Leaders work on seeing self – without shame or blame – as part of our humanity.
• Leaders give others the same gift – seeing their reactivity as part of their humanity without shaming or blaming or taking things personally.
• Leaders learn to see self in the system in real time and to, when possible, disrupt those patterns and learn new ways of being.
