But I first want to begin by just reviewing very briefly that the content of the chapter lead out of your marriage or singleness,

and then I'll take it from there.

So the framework of the emotion like the leader is very simple.

It's built on the concept of a skyscraper.

That if you're going to build a skyscraper, high up, you've got to go deep down.

And that the inner life of a leader is what determines the quality of what they're building externally.

And so when we think about all the external things we do in leadership on a daily basis, things like planning and decision-making, culture and team-building, boundaries and power and how we handle that and endings and new beginnings,
