Reminiscent of the Identity vs. Role leadership poster, David Sandler reminds us that we are safe inside our personal castle into which no one can enter without our permission.
Too many people make no distinction between their “inside world” – existing inside of themselves with all of the sense of personal worth and their “outside world” where much is based on their performance and the successful fulfillment of their roles.
When the drawbridge is left down and people from the outside are allowed to enter, no place feels safe as individuals are allowed to make judgment calls on your worthiness to be loved. Keep the drawbridge up, lower it only after you’ve put on your armor to go out and perform your roles. Even then a wise leader keeps the drawbridge constantly raised while performing his/her roles.
