A very useful image that depicts leadership



Although I thought I had completed all my research I am still finding so much more information and resources on leadership. This image was photographed by Alfred Steiglitz (1864-1946) and was named "Dancing Trees". The image presents to us the thick branches of a young tree at its first forking. The branches separate from the trunk as a sign of indepence, yet each one stays close to another for support and encouragement. They intertwine, at once leaning toward and away from each other, sharing the pies are entitled to a life outside of their work and how important that life is to each person is essentice of sunlight that shines through the leaves from above (Steiglitz, 1922).

In terms of leadership it is important to take into account the interdependence of relationships. Involving not only our relationship with ourselves but also with our peers, friends, family and co workers. Acknowledging that workeral for any emotionally intelligent leader.
