You have now achieved what you set out to do. From the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the view and reflect on the motives that have underpinned your efforts, as well as the lessons learned along the way.

Some choose to say, “That’s it,” and simply enjoy the fruits of their labor. Others, however, believe that the real challenge begins now—it’s time to put your leadership experience to work by setting and achieving new goals.

This phase is driven by a motivation that extends beyond oneself, fostering a desire to make a difference for others and for the world.

Remember, you are now a true leader, taking on the mantle of one who leads with calm and steady steps.
