It’s true that leaders should take their leadership roles seriously, but not in a way that makes them feel godlike or leads to hubris (excessive pride that comes before the fall). Remember, writes Aurelius, “You've made enough mistakes yourself . . . You're just like [those you lead].” And if you’ve managed to avoid some of the mistakes your followers make, then recognize that you have the potential to falter and do EVEN worse. Our series on Marcus Aurelius continues as Coach Blake explores Aurelius's observation of a timeless truth: pride comes before the fall.
