Spirit of Leadership

CHAPTER EIGHT Leadership Ability without the Attitude No leader can rise above his attitude. W hen the young lion saw the older lion and reconnected to his true nature, the process of his growth was still ahead of him. He knew his identity, but he had to understand what that identity really meant. Only by entering the right environment— the forest—could he discover what it would involve for him to someday take his place as king of his domain. The same is true for us. HARDWARE WITHOUT SOFTWARE As I wrote in the previous chapter, when we are restored to our Source of power, we are still missing a key element: the software. The software is our leadership attitude. We have been detached from this attitude for so long that, even though we now have an awareness of our leadership spirit, we need to take on the mentality of a leader because we still have the mind-set of slaves.
