Saturday Thought: Leading

Leaders come in all shapes and sizes.
That much we know from reading history
books.

I always find it interesting to hear
the personal stories that give shape
to leadership in people. We find that
very often leaders had to overcome some
major problem or obstacle in their lives
that helped them to discover their own
leadership ability.

The best leaders, in my view, are those
who are highly effective in leading
their own personal lives.

Exercising sound inner leadership is my
own personal goal. Living a conscious life
is a step in that direction.

Here are a couple excellent quotes about
leadership:

"A leader is one who knows the way,
goes the way and shows the way."

--John C. Maxwell

"Mastering others is strength. Mastering
yourself is true power."

--Tao Te Ching
