Leadership, Trauma and the Capacity to Stay Present Amidst Tragedy

Shaner on Leadership
Written By Suze Shaner

What the President secretly did at Sandy Hook Elementary School.Wow. This made me sob.Thank you Joshua Dubois for giving us a peek into the character of President Obama.I don't care what anyone thinks of his politics – for or against - Doing a good job or not.This man is an amazing human being - To have the strength, authenticity, compassion and tenderness of heart to hold these people's unfathomable pain in the midst of such tragic loss.This is what a great leader does: listens, is present, and can bear the unbearable for those he serves. On this day three years ago, President Obama was heroic.© Copyright 2015 Sage Leadership Strategies, LLC All rights Reserved.
