In this context, obedience is not mindless adherence to an order. Instead, it draws from the Latin root, *"obidere,"* which means "to listen." [[Leadership is a practice]], which requires that we [[practice]] the skills of leadership. Practice is an action - the act of trying over and over again with a goal of learning and growing. We'll naturally make mistakes and get things wrong, but we learn just as much (if not more) as we do from the things we get right. --- ## Sources Conners, D.
