There are many things I love about my life. Near the top of the list are the people in my inner circle. I cannot imagine how hard leadership would be without a few trusted partners.
Sadly, everywhere I go I meet leaders who feel lonely. They remind me of a line from the the 1941 film Citizen Kane describing Charles Foster Kane.
"In his castle surrounded by riches without allies, isolated."
I'm guessing, like me, you never want to feel that way. What good is a castle without someone to share it with?
As a leader the most important thing you have is your people. Please don't neglect their worth. Listen to their stories, value their opinions, and foster their dreams.
[Tweet "People don't leave organizations, they leave leaders."]
If you will remember what is really important, and refuse to isolate yourself, your will castle can be full friends, and you will love your life.

Show Me Your Friends and I Will Show You Your Future
Recently I heard a speaker say, "Show me your friends and I will show you your future. Show me the five people who are closest to you and I will show you who you will be in five years."
Studies show that you are an average of the five people who are closest to you. Not happy with your life? Perhaps its time to surround yourself with some different people.
The next five years are going to pass. What will you become? That's up to you.
But rest assured your destination will depend on your relationships.
