Leadership

 

The very essence of leadership is that you have a vision. You cannot blow an uncertain trumpet. -Theodore Hesburgh

I suppose it is a truism to say that leaders must lead. But what kind of leader are you going to be? This is primarily a spiritual book. It seeks to explore what has often been called the Golden Rule: treat people the way you want to be treated. The vision of Hitler or Stalin or Pol Pot has no place in these writings-but the ability to create, shape, and explain a vision is important. This vision needs to be anchored in a certainty that breeds enthusiasm in those who are following: "This is do-able." Not only Gandhi, Churchill, and Roosevelt, but also you and me are called to lead in certain circumstances- and conviction is necessary.

I lead with the force of Spirit.
