Learn to Lead with Vitality
To lead: "To Guide on a way especially by going in advance."
Leadership is about more than having all of the answers, working long hours or attaining a position of status.
Transformational leaders are the first to go to the place where our new world exists. It is a place where our suffering and our deepest yearnings converge into new possibilities. It is profound work, where only a few will dare to travel.
The most important quality of a leader is...Congruence
Congruence is a state of being in which one is connected to his/her deepest sense of self. They experience their inherent worth in the world regardless of their role in life. One knows that he/she is good enough because they are connected to the life energy which unites all of life. They know that they have a unique part in that web that can never be duplicated by any other human being on the planet. They live with confidence within the paradox that no one else can ever fulfill their role and that the world is complete in and of itself without him. His/her presence adds value and vitality in an emergent way rather than being a solution to a broken world.
