When we talk about leadership, we say that leaders need to delegate, they need to empower people, they need to inspire and motivate those they lead. What we rarely talk about is the other side of leadership, the hard truths, how easy it is to say to delegate, how hard it is to actually do, how easy it is to say you need to inspire people, how hard it is to actually do, how easy it is to say you need to confront difficult situations, and yet how hard it is to actually do so.

In this talk, we're going to examine what the consequences of not taking these actions are, and how by avoiding these problems, we not only are kicking the can down the road, but ending up potentially hurting more people than we ever intended to.
