Deeply Valuable Lessons in Good Life Leadership
The great Socrates/Plato philosophical double act emerged in Athens Greece at about 2,500 years ago. A pressing point that emerged strongly in mindful leadership manuals, such as Plato's ‘Republic’, is that we are all leaders of our common destiny and we all lead best when we lead from the front.
We can all be fully awake just as soon as we stop worrying about what we don't have (unreality) and start appreciating what we do have (reality).
The leadership model offered in the writings and lives of the great leaders who inspired the world's great wisdom traditions could be described as unity-based leadership, or non-personal power-based leadership.
