Uncertainty

.. a follow up to that leadership stuff in my last post.

A key component of leadership is handling uncertainty. You can never know what will happen and there is risk associated with just about everything.

There is a certain amount of blind faith involved, and a certain amount of brut force required to pound through doubt.

The preacher analogy comes back again -- Unwavering faith; conviction. The best leaders will achieve these traits not just in themselves but also the people around them.
