Are You in Need of a “Hiking Partner?”
Have you ever noticed that when you hike with a friend, the trail seems easier? Even the most challenging climb can go by gently when accompanied by a supportive colleague and conversation.
Work and leadership are similar. Struggling alone can leave us isolated and brewing in our own fears. As they say, “it is lonely at the top”. Make sure you have a climbing partner you can count one. Ideally, they are not only good company but a trusted critic as well. Choose someone who can help you face the challenges that will certainly come up but still help you keep a positive eye on the summit.
