Leadership is indeed a "peculiar place" to be in. I distinctly remember that feeling of liminality with my first leadership position, due to promotion. And how all of a sudden I was caught in the in-between of still being 1 member of my team, but also their lead. It took some adjusting.
Glad you got something out of it Jorge! The first positions can often be the most unnerving to navigate, and we fall back on what was modeled between us at time. It's awesome you adjusted!
the nuanced ability to hold multiple truths to be true at one time...indeed this is not an easy space to occupy. It is uncomfortable for people to do this because we want to automatically embrace cognitive ease (binary thinking). Great post, Chris!
Fantastic read Chris!

Awareness is a great topic. What it is, how is it defined, and the immediate ripple and feedback- if you can see it!
Exactly! Not everyone ways attention to how things ripple.

Thank you Grace, and spot on! I think it's the "multiple truths" aspect that trips people up.
