Grief Leadership

The last few months have been a lot. But all of a sudden, the skies are clearing. 

And there is a very exciting discussion on social media - the importance of grief representation and grief leadership on the world stage. Grieving people feel seen and I think it is beautiful. 

Now for sure it is easy to answer with the tripe "he's so strong"... but what if we didn't underscore what WE thought President-elect Joe Biden was bringing to the table. 

What if we just listen? 

What if we just observe? 

What if we simply lean in and learn? 

Like so many things these days - the onus is on us to do the work. Take that uncomfortable seat, and continue to try to do better. Leaders who grieve openly aren't there to teach us the way, but we can absolutely learn from them. 

I, for one, look forward to learning from Joe.
