WHAT GREAT LEADERS DO

WHAT GREAT LEADERS DO

To be a Great Leader, the leader must be able to answer this question:

WHO AM I? WHILE THIS MAY SOUND SIMPLE, THE REALITY IS MANY LEADERS HAVE NOT DONE THE DEEP WORK TO UNDERSTAND THEIR DEFAULT PARADIGM – WHAT ARE YOUR BELIEFS AND ASSUMPTIONS, NEEDS, PERSONAL GOALS, STRATEGIES, BEHAVIORS/ACTIONS, AND DESIRED OUTCOMES PERSONALLY & PROFESSIONALLY.

GREAT LEADERS SHOULD HEED THE ADVICE OF GREAT PHILOSOPHERS:
DELPHI AT ORACLE; “KNOW THYSELF”.
ARISTOTLE: “A LIFE UNEXAMINED IS A LIFE NOT WORTH LIVING.”
MARIE RANIER RILKE: THERE IS ONLY ONE JOURNEY: THE JOURNEY INSIDE.

THE ROAD TO BECOMING A GREAT LEADER IS A DIFFICULT ASCENT FOR EVEN THE MOST SEASONED LEADERS.

Inner Genius

The hero’s journey always begins with the call. One way or another, a guide must come to say, ‘Look, you’re in Sleepy Land. Wake. Come on a trip. There is an aspect of your consciousness, your being, that’s not been touched. So you’re at home here? Well, there’s not enough of you there.’ And so it starts.”
