Chapter 2: What are the three archetypes of inspiring leadership?
Now I'm going to do is I'm visionary, but my message is too complex. I'm going to simplify it. I'm going to do this next month. I'm going to try to be calmer even when I'm experiencing time pressure. Now I'm going to do this month. Every couple of days, I'm going to elevate someone and point out what a great job they're doing.
If we can do those reflections and emulations into intentions, right, we're going to be more inspiring, more of the time. We're going to spread the seeds of inspiration and we're going to make the world a better place to be.
