Yes, I know
yesterday’s post on
leaders being hated
was a bit of a downer.
Building a company isn’t all sunshine and roses.
BUT
there ARE moments
where it IS sunshine and roses.
These moments are magic.
They’re what we work so hard
to achieve.
A couple of days ago,
I received an email from a reader.
While her husband, a retired police officer,
was in the hospital, dying of cancer,
she read him shorter stories
and one of the stories she read him
was mine.
It was a humorous romance with a police officer hero.
She said they laughed and laughed
and now whenever she sees the cover of this story,
she hears his laughter
and it is like he’s with her again.
THAT is why we build companies,
launch products,
lead.
We don’t lead to win a popularity contest.
We lead to make a difference.
