Developing a life of integrity as leaders

“A leader's vision is shaped by their knowledge—learning, experience, motivation, intuition, metabolized or introjected maps, their worldview of life, their character, and by their self-awareness of what is happening in their environment, in the organization they lead, and within their own boundaries. All these elements shape the internal environment in which the vision flourishes or withers, where the vision is built or the process of defining it is hindered.”

“Of course, you can tidy a room better than a child, but the key is that we want to empower the child to do it. This takes time. You have to be involved in the training and development yourself.
