Roxane’s Hunger

There reason I often say, “All leadership is personal; we just happen to do it in professional settings sometimes,” is simple. I actually believe it!

Roxane Gay’s memoir, Hunger, proves me right! She shares how an experience she had at 12 years old has colored her entire life! She shares how this experience affects her personally and professionally to this very day. To say that she has and is living the spillover effect is an understatement.

Perhaps it’s because of life experiences such as Ms. Gay’s that self-awareness and self-regulation are the cornerstones of leadership. If you can’t master these two elements, you won’t be successful in the others.
