The 8 Powers ofLeadership

Power to LET GO This is the power to cut away everything that is destructive, useless and wasteful. It is the power to let go of all, and hold nothing of the past in my heart; nor anything pointless of the future in my mind. It is the strength to say ‘no’ to negativity. Letting go requires courage, forgiveness, trust and purity. It means my life starts anew from this point onwards. This power connects deeply with the Power to WITHDRAW. It requires me to LET GO of all limitations of identity. It means finishing what others expect of me and what I expect of others; letting go of all limited thinking and beliefs and identity. When I do LET GO of the expectations I have of myself based on what other people expect of me, I can have greater understanding and compassion for myself and for others… qualities crucial to the role of the leader. In letting go of expectations, I become free to make decisions that are incisive and imbued with the power of truth rather than the force of tradition. This power enables me to hold a vision of a new world, of a new way of living and working to- gether. It compels me to finish any attachments to the ways of this world. I am required to LET GO of the ego’s attraction to limited position. I must go beyond the opinions of others, LET GO of “shoulds” and “ought tos”, and of behaviours destructive to myself and to others. I also have to LET GO of what I think I know and who I think I am. This power accompanies to ability to choose a new life, a better way. Self Respect…Discipline…Positivity…Purity
