Leading other people requires giving up personal goals in exchange for group decisions. It also includes seeing the brilliance and uniqueness in each individual. The level reached in enlightened leadership is determined by the commitment and willingness of the leader to give up the ego’s needs. It is easier in theory than in practice because the ego mind is so obstinate. Challenging the artificial image means you must:
- Give up the need to know all the answers
- Give up an attachment to the outcome
- Give up the need to be superior
- Be able to say you are wrong
- Listen instead of talk
