Leadership Philosophy of Robert W. Linn
Leadership can be defined as your influence over and on the performance and wellbeing of others. If a person has the ability to impact someone’s life for the better, they are a leader. Conversely and sometimes more importantly, if you a life can be effected for the worse, that’s also leadership. Peter Drucker describes the demands of leadership succinctly:
“Leaders require the capacity to analyze, to think, to weigh alternatives, and to harmonize dissent.

I’ll be the first person to laugh at myself to find the joy in any moment; this is how I live in joy.
3. Curiosity: Curiosity is the opposite of judgment, the opposite of comparing and contrasting. There’s always something more to any given situation beyond the story you’re telling yourself.
