Engender; I love this word. It means: to cause, to develop, to originate. Leaders engender amazing possibilities for their teams to grow and thrive. However, engendering an environment of accountability can be one of the most challenging to cultivate.

Want to be free and confident as a leader? Take a self-assessment here.
