“Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.” – Michael Scott, The Office

Integration is being able to see reality...that there are good things going on and bad things going on at the same time. Good team members will make mistakes...long term clients will sometimes leave. At the same time, Good team members make A LOT of correct decisions (maybe even better than we could) and new clients sometime turn into long term clients.

As a leader what or who are you holding onto that you should let go of? What opportunities are opening up when business challenges arrive? Don't deny reality, embrace it and be the leader you were meant to be.
