Published on June 25, 2026 Written by

There’s a big difference between inspiration and motivation. As a leader, your job is inspiration. You are the one who has to dig down, find the goodness and communicate it even when the circumstances around you suggest otherwise. Your message is always what’s possible, where we’re going, not where we are and you need to generate an experience of certainty when things feel chaotic and uncertain.  Is it easy?
