I’ve been blessed to be able to spend time with several seasoned leaders. A few of these men have felt sorry for me and have taken me under their wing. They saw some of these rookie mistakes in my life and wanted to save me (and those I lead) from myself.

I wouldn’t call myself a seasoned leader or even put myself in the middle of the leadership spectrum. I do have a few hard-earned battle scars that rookies can’t understand or appreciate yet, but they will.
