For a long time, I didn’t know. And somehow, I think now, maybe I do, albeit just a bit more than before. That may sound a bit weird, but the knowing that I’m talking about is like an awareness or a localized illumination, kind of like streetlights.

Think about it. You need more than one streetlight along the road because you’re moving, and the place that was illuminated by the last one is the place where you just where, not necessarily the place where you are, and certainly not the place where you’re going. So, while illumination or enlightenment or awareness is a knowing that just kind of “is,” life still has a progression to it, a journey. And that, friend, is why this is a “journey of self-awareness, authentic living, and intentional leadership.” I’m still on that journey, moving from one streetlight to the next, overjoyed and immensely blessed every time I find myself in the glow of a new one. And curiously, journeys like this one don’t seem to me to have an end in this life.

“You didn’t know what?” you might ask. I didn’t know how to live as a healthy, authentic version of myself. I didn’t know how to be a good leader. I didn’t know how to how to treat people with dignity, honor, and respect toward their humanity, let alone help them discover and live as their best selves, which is what I would have always claimed as one of the primary goals of my life, even when I was totally clueless how.

The fact is, how we treat one another matters; for all of us, but especially for those who are leaders. The environments that we foster, the cultures that we create, they matter in a big way, and no matter how much we may claim to love others and be genuinely out for their greater good, low emotional intelligence, ego-driven behavior, and neurological short-circuiting can ruin the most well-intentioned leaders. Bottom line, this is a book about learning to live as the most authentic version of yourself possible, and as a leader, helping others do the same.
