In this video, we explore a key lesson from George Washington's leadership journey, inspired by historian David McCullough’s reflections on the first U.S. president. Washington’s ability to face challenges as they were—not as he wished them to be—set him apart. His presidency laid the foundation for a lasting republic, marked by innovative decisions like the peaceful transfer of power and the two-term limit. But what made Washington’s leadership truly transformative? It was his ability to grow beyond his military background and evolve his mindset for the unprecedented challenges of governing. This video delves into the difference between learning and growing as a leader, drawing from Adult Development Theory. Growth requires more than knowledge—it demands a shift in perspective and the willingness to develop deeper self-awareness. We also reflect on leadership practices that lead to true transformation, inspired by experts like Brad Stulberg, Amanda Blake, Shaka Smart, and Dr. Michael Gervais. From journali
