Leadership is about “who we are” and “what we do”. Along with learning to act as a leader, we must possess the characteristics, behaviour and habits and the mind and heart of true leaders. True leaders have the courage to confront the meaning of existence. Such leaders enter within their own hearts and souls, engage in self-analysis and connect with the spiritual force within themselves.
True leadership is not acting a certain way; it is a reflection of who we are within. Those who raise this question cannot rest until they find answers. They conclude that there is a higher power within that guides us. That inner spiritual power is the source of morals, virtues, power and life. It does not matter what name we call it — whether God, consciousness, soul — that power is within, enlivening each of us. Once we contact the eternal spiritual power, we connect with the source of the qualities of true leaders.
The second aspect of leadership is service. It is by serving others that we earn the right to lead them. Those who are spiritually aware see the same power enlivening all creation. Intellectually understanding service does not provide the conviction we need when we are tested, as we most certainly be, by people and circumstances.
Becoming a true leader is about becoming a true human being. It is about choosing a life committed to spiritual growth and service. If we tap into spiritual sources within, we will become leaders whose lives will inspire others to follow and who will be a blessing to those we meet.
