10 Beatitudes of a Leader

I was reading a business leadership book and came across the 10 beatitudes of a leader. I thought I would share it because of its simple but strong advice.

Beatitudes of a Leader

1. Blessed is the leader who has not sought the high places but who has been drafted into service because of ability and willingness to serve.

2. Blessed is the leader who knows where they are going, why they are going, and how they are going to get there.
3. Blessed is the leader who knows no discouragement, who presents no alibi.
4. Blessed is the leader who seeks for the best for those he serves.
5. Blessed is the leader who leads for the good of the majority, and not for personal gratification of his personal ideas.
6. Blessed is the leader who develops leaders while leading
7. Blessed is the leader who marches with the group, and correctly interprets the signs on the pathway that lead to success.
8. Blessed is the leader who has their head in the clouds and their feet on the ground.
