Summary

In today’s typical work environment many leaders are in a position of seeing themselves as the ones with the critical knowledge and information that they feel they must share with others. As a result, they often find their days consumed by giving advice and solving other people’s problems.

Tracy Fitzgerald shares a simple story of how the butterfly’s emergence from its chrysalis can provide a greater understanding around the value of personal struggle and how you as a leader can leverage this to become more effective in your leadership role by helping those around you discover their own solutions.
