When we cede our power to those we pedestalize,
secretly worship, put on a “can’t do no wrong”
ledge, we unintentionally widen the disconnections
between us and them.
When we are placed onto, and accept our place on
such pedestals and accept the perceptions to be of

power? What’s my part?
• What decisions am I making to support life
flourishing?
• How do you see the power that your leadership
gives you? Do you see it as “cargo” as in
responsibility?
• Who gave you the permission to carry this “cargo,” or sacred responsibility?
• What practices do you maintain to stay humble and not corrupt?

not the opposite of putting them on pedestals and demanding less of them.
Leadership is evident in the ones who listen, turn trash into compost, embrace and bring healing
to shadows. When you concentrate and hoard leadership and power, and only share it with
those that look or think like you, you leave the wisdom and
wellbeing of others at the door, walking away
thinking you’ve been successful.
