Draco & Elise
Elise
Hey Draco, I was thinking about how people get drawn to leaders. Some are won over by bold, fierce fire, others by gentle, caring warmth. What sparks loyalty in your team?
Draco
I make them feel we’re in this together, not just following orders. Show them the cause, give them a chance to prove themselves, and never forget that a leader is only as strong as the people he keeps close. Loyalty grows when they see you fighting for them, not just demanding.
Elise
That sounds so honest and kind. When you let people see you standing with them, it must feel like a safe place for them to try new things. Do you ever feel like you’re opening yourself up too much? It’s a brave thing to do, but sometimes it can be exhausting. Keep listening, and maybe give yourself a little break too—leaders need that fire to keep going.
Draco
Sometimes it feels heavy, but the trust we build outweighs the fatigue. I push through because we’re a team, and when I pause I do it quietly, refocus, and come back stronger.
Elise
It’s wonderful how you keep your team’s spirit alive—you’re like the quiet wind that keeps the sails catching the right breeze. Remember to let yourself feel that quiet pause, too; it’s a gift you give yourself, not a loss. When you refocus, the whole group gets stronger, and that’s a beautiful thing. Stay gentle with yourself, as you are with everyone else.
Draco
I appreciate the words, but it’s the crew that keeps me grounded. Still, I’ll take a moment to catch my breath, recharge, and then lead on. It keeps us all stronger.
Elise
You’ve got it—when you breathe, everyone can breathe easier too. Just remember that a little pause isn’t a weakness, it’s your secret weapon to keep the crew shining. Keep doing what you do, and your team will keep shining with you.
Draco
Got it, and thanks for the reminder. I’ll keep my eyes on the horizon and give the crew the space to breathe. Let’s keep moving forward together.
