Fear

"There is a problem with your visa," the Russian immigration officer said in the train. "Your visa has been closed. You cannot enter Russia. You have to go back to Finland."

Although most people don't like to talk about it, fear seems to be an integral part of life. Every leader that I have been close to - close enough that thy would level wih me - has described times that fear has loomed large in her/his life.

Dealing with uncertainty, managing ambiguity, not always knowing what to do comes with the territory of being a leader.

Experiencing fear does not mean we cannot accomplish something.
