The Authentic Leader

"The best leaders are not the "follow me over the hill" type, says Harvard Business School professor Bill George. Rather, they're the people who lead from the heart as well as the head, and whose leadership style springs from their fundamental character and values."

I often struggle with God-based values and the dog-eat-dog world of silicon valley business. I have come to realize that one cannot compromise the fundamental value system that guides one's actions.

The authentic leader: God-based, heart-led, with a strong character foundation filled with wisdom and humility.

Those things take time to develop.... but they are all part of the rewards derived from The Longest Way Round!
