Instead of looking in the mirror and reflecting on whether our hair is combed or if the jacket or sweater fits well, a wise leader will look beyond the outer image, go beneath the surface. He or she will evaluate and look inside their true self. Viewing our deeper selves and blind spots and then honestly recognizing what we see is a difficult task. Getting to the truth will require the help of others since some people know only one side of us. Deciding what we are going to do with the information we receive will require help too, because it’s easier to make no change. If you’re tempted to think that way, remember change is the only way to grow. So, facing two paths – CHANGE and NO CHANGE – let's say we opt for CHANGE. What will keep us on the straight and narrow path? |
