I have been spending a great deal of time contemplating the state of leadership in general. I really do see a trend towards impersonal and non-relational management.
When I say leadership, you can swap this term for many others!
Spouse, parent, teacher, officer, etc. Relationships are stressed to the breaking point all around us.\
When stress is out-of-control, it can get in the way of your ability to:
- Think clearly and creatively
- Communicate clearly
- Accurately "read" other people
- Hear what someone is really saying
- Trust others
- Attend to your own needs
