The article "Opiniando: Leading also means knowing when to leave" addresses a rarely discussed dimension of leadership. The text highlights that, although it is common to talk about the courage needed to take on responsibilities, the ability to mobilize people, and the obligation to work, little is said about the moment when a cycle approaches its end.
The author argues that knowing how to leave is also a fundamental part of the exercise of leadership. This is not, however, about abandoning a mission or responsibility before its time, but about recognizing the appropriate moment to close a chapter.
The reflection suggests that leadership is not complete merely with entry or remaining in command, but also with the capacity to know when it is time to make room for new leaders or new phases. It is a more complete and mature view of the role of those who lead.
