Being a father means taking the leadership position. I’ll confess that we’re not always on-point at this job. We’re constantly undergoing on-the-job training and retraining, and a flurry of reviews. Leadership is tough. Ask any African president who’s hung on to the job longer than he’s supposed to. Just like this equally loved and loathed lot, we don’t like asking for directions when, for instance, we’re in the driver’s seat.
