You’ve heard it said over and over that the longest journey starts with a single step. Perhaps you’ve said that to your own staff as you begin a school year, or to your friends or family as you begin a journey. But leadership is like that too. That first step on the leadership journey is critical to what path you can take forward. If your vision is to climb a peak, your first step defines the journey. If your mission is to serve a community, your sidestep, misstep, or walking something back is as important as how you move forward.
