A leader is someone who others look to for direction, inspiration, critique and support. To be successful in this role requires a constellation of skills including adherence to a clear vision that instills compassionate guidance, teachable discipline, and creativity. A leader sparks enthusiasm and excellence in others with their capacity for open communication, an ability to see all sides of conflicts, and an ability to fairly mediate and problem solve. The weight of these responsibilities can lead to increased stress, fatigue, frustration, and burnout. Therapeutic goals may focus on skill development to address pressures and challenges, better understanding how to motivates others, becoming aware of blind spots and liabilities, and/or learning strategies for improved relationships, communication, focus, and well-being.
