I think. . .I hope that most of us want to be better people. Better people, simply put, make better leaders. Here, then, are some thoughts on how we can all be better by. . .
Being inclusive rather divisive. Whatever our driving belief structure, we should recognize that all people on this earth have a purpose. The more people we include. . .the greater good we can accomplish.
Having a sense of humor. There is light in even in the darkest of places. . .and usually that light is the ability to laugh, the sensibility to recognize irony and the emotional intelligence to know that humor exists in all things.
The ability to be both teacher and student.
Not whitewashing or excusing that which is unjust or untrue; having the guts to work for change.
Being kind.
Being light. Hum a tune, sing a song, have a casual conversation. . .engage with the people and the environment that surround us.
Helping.
Understanding. Empathy is so much more a gesture. It is a willingness to have a deep understanding of a situation and the ability to smartly respond to that situation.
Recognizing that a firm foundation for life is not having all of the right answers; but instead, having the humility to ask the right questions.
