Leadership as defined by My Great Aunt EDNA is for nieces and nephews who will work their asses off to seek Excellence in spirit for the greater good of their team. With that said, what should a leader do that has reached the point of being sick and tired of being sick and tired, and Excellence seems an impossibility? That last sentence is what My Great Aunt Edna and her twin used to say all the time. It is the point that one reaches when they have exhausted all their inner strength to go on, or so they think, before finally grasping for that last bit of air.
