Leadership & Learning with Kevin Eikenberry
If you have ever tried to walk more than a step or two on something narrow, you know that your balance is the most important factor for your success. Lean too far in either direction, and you will fall. As a leader, you might feel like you are sometimes walking a tightrope, trying to navigate complexity and trying not to fall.
