Abstract
An observed doctor-patient encounter, in which impotence and importance were confused, led me to a reflection on leadership. A sense of importance can be destructive in leadership, leading to failure to perform, or impotence. Understanding the dangers of self-importance, I am challenged to ensure that I regularly reflect on my leadership style.
