Over the last three days I have been reading the galley copy of our book Edge in an effort to give it the final proof before printing, and I have to say that going through the journey of the book again reignited my passion for leadership. Epiphany after epiphany struck me, as I recognized all of the commonalities I had with our leading character, Mitch. What fascinates me most is that I am a different leader now than I was when we initially wrote the book. I have grown and now I face new challenges; so Mitch’s journey is hitting me differently this time through and inspiring me in new ways. I’m more excited than ever about the debriefs that Bea does at the end of each chapter and how they bring the story into context from a leadership perspective. They forced me, as I was reading, to ask myself some serious questions about my approach to leading Writers of the Round Table. Leading can be lonely. Leading can be brutal. Leading can be rewarding like little else. Thank you again Bea and Eva for going on this journey with me. My pride for what we created together overwhelms me. I am excited to watch the journey of this book as others begin to read it and benefit from our unique approach.
