The Five Challenges
of Leadership

16. Jerry+All
The Five Challenges
of Leadership
•Delusion
•Disappearing into the fire
•Not understanding leadership
•Being unclear
•Avoiding fierce conversations

17. Jerry+All
Overcoming Delusion:
This Being so, so what?

18. Jerry+All
Not disappearing requires a
separation of self from the
goal.

19. Jerry+All
Understanding the role of
the leader is to…
•Hold the vision
•Build and maintain the team
•Give them what they need to succeed

20. Jerry+All
Fierce, not Ferocious

21. Jerry+All
Being Fierce

22. Jerry+All
It’s Not What You Think

23. Jerry+All
It’s not yelling,
pounding the table,
being unreasonable
or otherwise an ass.

24. Jerry+All
It’s being without deception.

25. Jerry+All
Being without deception is an
extension of telling the truth: it is based
on being truthful with yourself. When
you have a sense of trusting your own
existence, then what you communicate
to other people is genuine and
trustworthy.
-Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

26. Jerry+All
The consequence of
avoidance is an
exacerbation of problems
and a destruction of trust.

27. Jerry+All
Why do we avoid fierce
conversations?

28. Jerry+All
Fear

29. Jerry+All
Fear and a discomfort with
feelings (ours and others’) as
well as a lack of
understanding about how
communicate.
