'Quamplurimi et quam aptisimi" (As many as possible of the very best)
Dear Leaders:
Every day that you watch CNN, read your papers you learn of ever increasing depressing news:
1. Greek debt crisis;
2. China stock market meltdown;
3. Calamities in ______
4. Drought in North Korea and West USA
5. ISIS
6 The suicide bombers in Kabul and Cairo
7. Terrorist attack in France
etc etc ad nauseam.
What do we, what do you do?
I received a text message from Text Ministry: (Meron na palang ganoon)
God said build a better world. I said how?
The world is so messed up there is nothing I can do.
But God said build a better you and "influence others"
I have forwarded this text message to some of the leaders all ready
This author thinks that we are doing this in the leadership class. First self awareness, self mastery (as we discover our leadership journey, self tests (enneagram) and life story.And then influencing others through our good examples (action) and if possible through words. This is leadership in words and action
Leadership subject at AGSB is an Ateneo advantage. It emphasizes leadership from within, authentic leadership. One of its pillars is love. This is odd in a cold steely corporate world. The others are heroism, ingenuity and self awareness. The goal of leadership is not only to develop oneself but to clone other leaders. Everybody has potential to be leader. What we do, even if we do not have followers influences/affects others. It is time to define Filipino leadership too
