How to embrace the never-ending leadership journey

There are times in leadership when it seems like you’re stuck always pushing a rock up a hill. How can you balance your responsibilities and keep motivated in the face of never-ending tasks? 

Leadership is a never-ending quest where there’s always more work to do. In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a king who evaded death twice. Hades, the god of the underworld, punished him by forcing him to push a boulder up a hill. Once the boulder reached the top of the hill, it would roll back down, forcing Sisyphus to start again. Leadership can feel similar to the story of Sisyphus because there is always something more you can do, and your tasks rarely ever feel “complete”.
