Fostering Enlightened Leadership

We need an
International Network
of Enlightened
Leaders
linking and working together to transform humanity and the Earth. 


See communications category
5 below.

These leaders are:

Enlightened  *  Ethical  *  Egoless
Egalitarian  *   Equitable  *  Educational

An Enlightened Leader is not interested in money. power and control to advance him or herself personally, but rather using money, co-empowerment and co-creativity to do good for humanity and the Earth ... others have written about this as Servant Leadership...

"A new moral principle is emerging which holds that the only authority deserving one's allegiance is that which is freely and knowingly granted by the led to the leader in response to, and in proportion to, the clearly evident servant stature of the leader. Those who choose to follow this principle will not casually accept the authority of existing institutions. Rather, they will freely respond only to Individuals who are chosen as leaders because they are proven and trusted servants. To the extent that this principle prevails in the future, the only truly viable institutions will be those that are predominantly servant-led."
~
Robert K. Greenleaf

"Servant leadership is easy for people with high self-esteem. Such people have no problem giving credit to others and have no problem listening to other people for ideas. They have no problem in building other people up and they don't feel other people's success threatens them in any way. . . . Servant leadership builds self-esteem and encourages Individual growth while obtaining the organization's objectives."
~ Ken Blanchard, Convene

"The goal of many leaders is to get people to think more highly of the leader. The goal of a great leader is to help people to think more highly of themselves."
~ J. Carla Nortcutt

"Leaders we admire do not place themselves at the center; they place others there. They do not seek the attention of people; they give it to others. They do not focus on satisfying their own aims and desires; they look for ways to respond to the needs and interests of their constituents. They are not self-centered; they concentrate on the constituent. . . Leaders serve a purpose and the people who have made it possible for them to lead . . . . In serving a purpose, leaders strengthen credibility by demonstrating that they are not in it for themselves; instead, they have the interests of the institution, department, or team and its constituents at heart. Being a servant may not be what many leaders had in mind when they choose to take responsibility for the vision and direction of their organization or team, but serving others is the most glorious and rewarding of all leadership tasks."

Credibility: How Leaders Gain and Lose It,
Why People Demand It


"If leadership serves only the leader, it will fail. Ego satisfaction, financial gain, and status can all be valuable tools for a leader, but if they become the only motivations, they will eventually destroy a leader. Only when service for a common good is the primary purpose are you truly leading."

12 Qualities That Make You a Leader


"Few people are successful unless other people want them to be."
~ Charlie Brown

"We are here to add what we can to, not get what we can from, life."
~ Sir William Osler

"People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care."
~ John C. Maxwell

"You will find yourself in service to your fellow man, your country, and your God."
~ Mahatma Gandhi
