On a recent visit to the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World (aka Statue of Liberty - Photo), I was reminded that leaders are invited to see more, vision from different perspectives, put themselves in new positions to gain those perspectives, explore the light and darkness, and serve up a picture of the future for their organizations.
Within the shadows there is always knowledge, hidden potential, and enlightenment waiting to be realized. You just have to look.
Seeing something familiar in a new light is a powerful competency for Leaders.
