\u201cJust let go!\u201d – words of wisdom to great leaders who have a passion to \u201cjust do it!\u201d A myriad of priorities compete daily for the attention of great leaders. There is always an instinct to do everything, to serve everyone, to be all things to all people, and they wear themselves out in the attempt. They give up time with their family and friends. They cut back on their daily workout. They crowd out their treasured down-times in which they pause to collect their thoughts. They spend long days, nights and weekends involved in their responsibilities. Always a phone call to answer, a Blackberry message to which to respond. In the end they lose some of their balance \u2013mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. There is an answer that a friend and coach shared with me: \u201cLet go!\u201d Enjoy the wonderful learning.<\/p>\n
