As a sensitive and highly intuitive person in the command-and-control corporate world, I always felt miscast.

You can't mobilize people and connect with them authentically when they can't see the true you.

Once you reach people on an authentic emotional level, they will reward your faith in them with their belief in you, and they will mobilize to get the job done.

The phrases and language used everyday in an organization can in fact affect the way your team makes decisions and conducts themselves.

The secret is to be prepared, to draw on the strengths of the people around you, and most importantly, to instill confidence that your team will step up and find a solution.

What can be seeds of destruction can also be seeds of greatness.

Buoyant leadership is not a management technique, it's a leadership principle based on the belief that leading isn't presiding, it's taking people on a journey, and on any hero's journey there will be a setback.
