Being a good leader can be lonely sometimes. It is not easy setting the tone and being the role model for a department or an organization. Every move is observed and transformed into a perceived action by your affiliates.
The leader must "walk the talk." If not, your affiliates will not "walk the talk." I would call this the Narrow Gate of Leadership. To enter this gate, one needs to be strong. Many will enter, but some may not stay. People sometimes get discouraged when the going gets tough and make compromises on their ideals. Aligning your values with your work environment is essential for your mental and physical well-being.
Enter the narrow gate. Refuse to be swallowed up in cynicism and despair. Rediscover new hope by interacting with people and organizations that care. Stand up and act. That is the way to open and go through the narrow gate. Make it count in work and life.
True leaders take the path less traveled on their journey; they confront the monsters, and discover the magnificence of their true selves. Don't forget, not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
