Leading Words
The Art of Influence and Inspiration
"A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where the don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be."
-Rosalynn Carter
At times, it is necessary to influence, guide, teach, or correct others -- often taking people where they ought to be. This lesson leans on the insights of the Jewish sages to discover how to influence, the responsibilities involved, the means of measuring success, the ability to recognize a communicator projecting personal insecurities on others in a failed attempt to communicate, and the preeminence of motivation over technique.
