Leading from a Position of Fear or Security
Leaders, do you lead from a place of fear or a place of security? In my experience, leaders typically tend to lead from one or the other.

We secure our buildings, our computers, our accounts and our valuables. But we never seem to notice that the security people feel inside is often the least secure thing of all.
