Number 59: Learning to lead The first task in true leadership Is to let go of your pre-conceived ideas about things This takes years of practice time maturity and experience failing getting up failing again getting up again Over time you learn to practice restraint on your verbal expressions Over time you learn to be moderate in your actions Over time you learn to be frugal about how you expend your energy Over time you learn how to come at the world from your center rather than from reactivity When you have a deep authentic base You can accomplish great things beyond what anyone expected You treat everyone and especially those who trust you to lead them With the firm wise compassion that a mother has for their child And you inspire them with a vision That arises from your deeply rooted foundation in the Ways of the Tao”
