Following Your Own Lead

Think you would make a better leader than those currently holding rank, you’re probably right.

Recently I sat down with author Deepak Chopra who talked about the change that needs to happen in the corner offices of American business. Chopra says this country has seen too many ruthless business leaders who corrupted the system, and wound up in jail. In his latest book “The Soul of Leadership” Chopra says we used to associate leadership with personal power and money. Today that concept has changed.

“An effective leader should be one who first of all serves the needs of society or the community of the business, fulfills those needs. But even more importantly can unfold their own potential and unfold the potential of those they lead for the greater good.”

Chopra says there is a strong correlation between emotional well being and a company’s bottom line. His examples of this type of leader include Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Warren Buffett. Men Chopra says are ahead of the curve. To hear how you can follow their lead click on the video link; tomorrow’s leader might be closer than you think.
