Perhaps he was a powerful preacher or charismatic leader. Maybe she was very eloquent and could captivate an audience.

Many people want to be part of the conversation, be perceived as a leader, or show they deserve a place at the table.

Over the years, I’ve seen the disappointment and damage to employees, teams, freelancers, vendors, and others when an organization’s leader promises what he can’t deliver or has no intention of delivering.

I’m not advocating that leaders be jerks, and there are times to be sensitive to the people around you, but I am advocating that if you’re serious about changing the world, stop walking around on eggshells.

Being self-aware matters. We don’t have to be hyper-sensitive and obsess over our lapses (I certainly don’t).

Not only do we have to judge, but we are called to judge, and in today’s society, we need to be more vigilant about judgment than ever.
