I found this little blessing in my mailbox this morning and wanted to share. I believe this wholeheartedly.


"True leadership consists first and foremost in being led. This conception involves a profound paradox. True leaders are not in any important sense initiator; rather they are chiefly responders to the Divine Will. This means that the chief determinant of authentic leadership is not human
talent, but availability to the Divine. When leadership ceases to be spirit-led, it ceases to be authentic."

Society of the Friends of Truth, London, 1960

Hi, Dotsie: The first and last lines are laudatory. It is the in-betweens that I am having difficulty with. Whilst the concept of "that of God within" and the necessity of being continually guided by God are acutely central to any leadership, the in-betweens as stated in the phrase can be broadly translated to fit subjective purposes. I probably need to get back to this thread later. I just have to shake off thoughts of King Charles I which is what first came to mind.
