Leadership, Trauma and the Capacity to Stay Present Amidst Tragedy

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.
