Every leader fights a never ending battle for improvement, growth, excellence, and progress. It’s the “never ending” part that gets you down.

Apart from intervention, discouragement sets in.

13 sources of discouragement:

1. Allowing others to define you.
2. Feeling out of touch when you thought you were in touch.
3. Disappointing performance from teammates.
4. Stalled progress.
5. Falling short.
6. Underutilization. You could make greater contributions.
7. Details blocking progress.
8. Feeling misunderstood.

10. Loneliness.
11. Toxic environments.
12. Unavoidable disaster.
