Wise words
A leader is best
When people barely know he exists,
Not so good when people obey and
acclaim him,
Worse when they despise him.
Fail to honor people,
They will fail to honor you.
But of a good leader, who talks little,
When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,
They will all say, 'We did this ourselves.'
Lao-Tsu, The Way of Life (604 BCE)

3 Remember the Four E's of a winning
attitude: energy that manifests itself in a
can-do attitude; energizing people around
the common goal of successful business;
keeping the edge of creativity when
looking for solutions; and going ahead
with the timely execution of ideas. At the
same time, remember the Four H's of
successful leadership: hope, humanity,
humility and humor.
4 Increase your self-perception as a sort of
early warning system for change. This will
help you dismantle your blind spots and
be ready to take action as soon as it is
needed. In this way you recognize and
use your high potential to lead effectively
by leading yourself.
5 Develop your resilience to stress.
Improve your defense recognition so
that you can move towards a disabling of
defense and a relinquishing of defense.
6 Livea balanced life. Followyour
dreams, surprise yourself, and own your
life completely. Know your family and
friends by more than wallet-sized
photographs. Remember that, above
all things, thejoy of life is in the living.
7 Consider undertaking transformative
workshops to expand and improve your
leadership potential. Intensive work
addressing the issues particular to your
position and the culture in which you
provide leadership can transform your
professional experience.
