Part 6
Whatever you do, do well.
King Solomon
We all possess a greater potential within us. The question is where we find the situation and the persons that can attract this greater betterment that we carry within us.
How I can create my future and how I can lift my surroundings will be the key questions for my leadership.
Wise leaders realize that there is only one way to go. It is to deepen one’s own awareness of and confidence in the future.
The example and responsibility that lay before us as leaders are to always operate for the good, a better future, and a better world.
This is a deep conviction of the values that possess a weight and validity beyond one’s own self, and which gives life qualities and larger dimensions.
To summarize this week
To become a wiser leader:
• Lead by example by acting in accordance with higher values.
• What you as the leader spends time and attention to count.
• Be trustworthy by serving as a model and good example.
