The article emphasizes the importance of balance between nurturing and accountability in leadership, illustrated by a school’s handling of bad weather traffic. While the school urged students to prioritize safety, it missed an opportunity to encourage preparedness. The author argues that effective leadership involves overcoming challenges rather than avoiding them, and that our responses to obstacles are shaped by our upbringing. A proactive, accountable approach is necessary for fostering a productive environment in any context, including business.
