We don’t often think about it–let alone talk about it publicly–but sometimes the greatest act of leadership is one of self-removal from our own team or company. Sometimes we’re faced with the question, "Do I stay, or do I go?"

In this video clip from The Extreme Leadership Summit, former Kineticom CEO, Simon Billsberry, discusses how he made that very personal decision for himself.

It’s rare to see a successful entrepreneur and leader being so candid and honest about such a personal decision in so public a forum. I highly recommend that you take a few minutes to eavesdrop on this insightful conversation. Perhaps it’ll help bring some clarity to your own stay-or-go decisions:

Are you the kind of person–the kind of leader–who seeks to move beyond your own (very important) personal development and have an impact on the world around you?

Then I invite you to watch this video and–if it strikes a chord in you–share it with as many people as you can:

 

What do you think? Are you in? Are you an educator, or do you know educators who’d benefit from receiving this book?

There are a lot of Extreme Leader Educators out there. If you know one, please tell us by sharing their story.
