Leadership and Energy: A River Runs Through It
Shannon and Conrad use the imagery of a river to explore how leaders source, sustain, and share energy. From the spring at the headwaters -- your inner source -- to the wider watershed of team and community, this conversation maps the full terrain of leadership energy and why tending your source is the most important work you can do.
What you’ll take away
Your leadership energy has a source -- and when you lose touch with it, everything downstream is affected.
The river metaphor: you cannot give from an empty source, and you cannot control the entire watershed -- only tend your own stretch of river.
Knowing what genuinely replenishes your source -- rather than just what feels good in the moment -- is essential leadership self-knowledge.
