Every prominent leader had a vision that marked the beginning of their journey. Susan B. Anthony envisioned women having the right to vote.

The degree to which you are successful as a leader lies, partly, in your ability to overcome challenges.
In my experience, it is not unusual for leaders to struggle in a dynamic corporate environment where tough and unfamiliar challenges lurk around corners. In some way, managing our potentially instinctive response to those situations, to become optimistic rather than showing signs of strain will inspire the people we lead, through the clear demonstration of this vital leadership skill, resilience.
