 We hold these truths to be self-evident. That it's time to challenge ourselves to be more independent. Welcome back, and congratulations on taking one more step towards becoming one of the great leaders of tomorrow. In honor of 4th of July, we're celebrating independence at Evil Genius Leadership, and we're going to be talking about ways we can win our freedom from the things that are holding us back. Freedom and independence are out more than being able to do whatever it is we want. As leaders, we're looking for the freedom to focus on the priorities that are important to us, and the ability to make independent decisions that provide us with the best outcomes. So this month's challenge is to find something in our lives that's holding us back and declare independence from it. It could be identifying a process that no longer serves your team with a helpful outcome, and taking steps to eliminate that process, or transforming it into something that has a positive impact on how your team operates. Or it could be to delegate some tasks and empower some people on your team, which will help free your time up to focus on priorities that you think are more important to getting your mission done effectively. It doesn't matter what you choose, as long as you find a way to let go of something you feel is holding you and your team back from achieving those goals that you think are most important. Once you've decided what you're going to declare independence from, take action to do it, and let us know in the comments how it went for you. As leaders, we're expected to set a good example for our team and help them achieve what we've asked them to accomplish. Taking steps to let go of things that no longer serve our purpose is a great first step towards winning our freedom.
