Monday Motivational

Greetings everyone-

This week’s motivation comes from the definition of a leader.

A leader is someone with followers. And we follow those who make us feel uplifted, better. For this, leadership requires making strong ‘noble’ decisions:
- When an Albanian nun, Mother Teresa, decides to spend her life in the slums of Calcutta, serving the needy - she becomes a great leader, a great inspiration.
- When a boxer, Muhammad Ali, decides against harming any Vietnamese, loses his title and endures a 4 years ban - he becomes a great leader.

Leadership is not a title. It is the ability to uplift, inspire others to follow. It comes from making decisions that put others first. Such 'noble' actions echo in eternity.

This week, let's beware of the leadership fables of billionaires who give millions to a charity in Africa - and role model them as the great leaders of the modern world! Let's emulate Nelson Mandela instead. 

Have a great week!
