Flourishing isn’t something you teach. You create the conditions for it.
That’s what leadership means to me. I create those conditions through orientation, trust, and agency. Give people a direction worth travelling and a reason it matters. Build their confidence in themselves and each other. Then step back without disappearing, and let them act, fail, learn, and act again.
The results are things you can walk up to and touch — waste turned into food, structures built by first-time makers, a master’s degree taken from idea to reality — and people who discover they can shape the world around them.
