Dear Son, every job you ever do will have two components
Be positive and find joy and gratitude in the ‘have-to-do’ parts of your job.

The job of a great leader?
How important is creativity in leading others well? And what exactly does doing it well mean?

And to have them driven, determined, grateful, and humbled to feel the privilege to do the work.
And to create more leaders. That’s the job of a great leader.
