Leaders my leaders, welcome back!

Here is the third and final set of traits. How are you doing so far? Have you realized you have a few things to improve? Are you actively working to make progress? Overwhelmed by what you’re discovering about yourself? Pick one place to start and keep working at it. No matter how far you have left to go, any progress you make today gives you more health, healing, and wholeness than you had yesterday. The effort and sacrifice it takes to grow into a genuinely mature person is well worth it!
