Here’s the second installment: Solitude and Leadership.

Solitude and Leadership is actually the text of a lecture at West Point in 2009 by William Deresiewicz. The moment that I knew this hooked me was when he started talking about distinction between solitude and introspection. It’s probably worth reading today and again in three weeks after you’ve had time to ponder it a bit. The essay is around 5,800 words and will take just under 20 minutes or so to read. Enjoy!
