When Your Shadow Falls on Others

00:00

Picture a crowded New Year's Eve dance floor. Bodies swaying, music pounding, champagne flowing. You're lost in the moment, arms flailing with abandon-until your elbow connects hard with someone's face. Blood. A broken nose. Your profuse apologies meet only a cold, vacant stare. Your remorse changes nothing. The damage is done. This isn't a cautionary tale about dancing-it's about power. When you occupy space in the world, especially when you hold any form of influence, you can't simply opt out of responsibility because you were "just having fun" or "didn't mean it." Leadership isn't a costume you wear to important meetings and remove when it's inconvenient. You're always a giant to someone, whether you acknowledge it or not. Your casual glance can make or ruin someone's day. Your throwaway comment can echo in someone's mind for years. There are no breaks from this reality, no magic potion that shrinks you back to normal size when you'd rather blend in. The question isn't whether you have power-it's what you'll do with it.
