Well said, Will!  Leaders need to be aware of "Power Stress" - a unique type of stress experienced by people in positions of power, influence and responsibility.  Recharging ourselves is not an option, it's a necessity for physical and psychological well being.  Giving is great, don't get me wrong.  Leader's who are able to RECEIVE connection, compassion, empathy will get recharged and not drained by their role.

Thank you for writing!
