leadership is messy

Leading is never easy and almost never does everything come out perfect. In fact, if you are a true perfectionist and a leader, you will have a very tough time. The reason being is that leadership is messy. As a leader, we are imperfect people, trying to lead other imperfect people to accomplish something. When you add every one's strengths and weaknesses into the mix, it makes for a messy situation. I laugh sometimes thinking how many of the decisions that have to be made are so complex. When you add up, the past, present and future factors with peoples opinions, strengths and weaknesses, it makes things messy. So, do we walk away and quit because things may get difficult? No way! That is why a leader is needed. If everything were easy, there would be no need for a leader. That's why I tell Gary Fowler all the time, "that's why they pay us the big bucks!" lol
