<blockquote><p><em>There is a treasure in being good.<br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<p class="quotee">King Solomon</p>
</div>
<p>As human beings we have a calling to be good, to love and to be loved. </p>
<p>When we think, reflect, are generous and open, our lives become something more significant. </p>
<p>Our internal reflection increases our desire to create our future. We are aware of our need and our capacity to contribute in different situations. </p>
<p>We can see how we are unique with individual strengths and assets and the potential to grow and develop. </p>
<p>No one else can be or do precisely what we can be or do.</p>
<h4>To summarize this week</h4>
<p>To become a wiser leader:<br />
• Commit to authentically getting to know who you are, where you are going and why you want to go there.<br />
•  Make sure to find time to think and listen to your inner voice—time to explore more of your true potential.<br />
•  Get connected with and align yourself with your core values.<br />
• Develop trust and confidence in your environment through being honest, reliable, and consistent.<br />
• Recognize that a perceived strength can be a weakness and a perceived weakness can be a strength.<br />
• Concentrate on your strengths and see everything else as opportunities for growth and development.<br />
• Look for the strengths in others, all as contributors to the ultimate goal.<br />
• Realize how you are unique with strengths, assets and the potential to contribute to greater value for the benefit of all.</p>
<h3>About &#8220;The Key Leadership Principles&#8221;</h3>
<p>This weeks Key Leadership Principle is &#8220;Lead through building relationships&#8221;.</p>
<p>I will write one thought for every day during this week and then give you the opportunity to reflect on some important questions on how to Lead through building relationships the following week.</p>
<p>This is the format I will use to inspire your learning, releasing your talent and potential. My hope is that you will come along with your thoughts along the way.</p>
<p>I wish you the best in your life and leadership,</p>

</div>
<p>Wise and authentic leaders accept themselves as they are, with both good sides and what we perceive as weaknesses. When the sun shines with its clear light of day, there are also formed shadows.</p>
<p>The fear that others will detect our weaknesses and shortcomings can lead to an attempt to conceal this conscious or unconscious. </p>
<p>The more we dare to see our dark sides, the more secure the picture is of how we can come forth to the light, which will release energy so that we can move forward.</p>
<p>When we accept our self as we are, we become more relaxed and can enjoy life’s journey more. </p>
<p>We know that no one is perfect and that our weaknesses sometimes show, such is life. It becomes easier to laugh about our self, to forgive ourselves and others.</p>

<p>For most of us, private victories come before public victories. </p>
<p>We have learned to take full responsibility for our actions with the knowledge that we can choose our response to each situation we face. </p>
<p>In this election, between what happens to us and how we respond, lies our freedom as humans. </p>
<p>When we are carrying out this freedom to choose, we develop our “self” and grow. </p>
<p>We develop and shape our character. </p>

<p>Being authentic leaders we are well rooted in our selves with knowledge about who we are, our personal values, talents and strengths…</p>
<p>Increasing our awareness about our own self calls for reflection. We step back regularly to examine more thoroughly the way we are and the way we lead. We strengthen our character.</p>
<p>In the fast-paced world we live in today, we make sure to find time to think and listen to our inner voice—time to explore more of our internal resources and to discover our true potential. </p>

<p class="quotee">King Solomon</p>
</div>
<p>Wise and authentic leaders’ know that they will be successful in the long run, when they grow in understanding how to effectively lead them selves.</p>
<p>Leadership begins inside the leader. We always bring our personality into our leadership and the perception of the circumstances we face. Our views on life, our values, attitudes and habits will influence our actions. </p>
<p>When we grow in wisdom about who we are, where we are going and why we want to go there we will lead with more authenticity. </p>
<p>Being more authentic broadens the base to lead and affect us to reach long-term success with others.</p>
<p>The authentic leader, with his or her strong presence, has the capacity to see, listen and connect to other people; which will give deeper access to their thoughts, intelligence and feelings. This will grow the leaders ability in how to inspire people, and give messages that will stimulate development and acting in a new way.</p>
