What Might be Possible If We Believed It Were Possible?

Questions have a strange power. They can release us from what we believe to be true by offering us glimpses of something different. Indeed, there are times in that brief moment after a question is asked when it feels like anything is possible.

In many ways, leadership begins with self-leadership, which is in turn built on a deep sense of curiosity about who you are as a person and as a leader and at its core about how you make decisions. In fact, how did you decide to read this? And, what will you decide to do next?
