  3. Roots of Successful Leadership • Love and passion • A process of continually tying back daily activity back to higher purpose and mission • Dynamic of Curving back on myself I create again and again

  7. Leadership in Action • Unwavering commitment to the Golden Rule • Strong Philanthropic basis (Greek: To Love Humankind) • Replicate themselves in spirit via mentoring • Require recipient pay it forward on basis of love and “want to”

  8. The Fruits • Individual realization of greatness within • Community with shared vision working toward collective goal • Balance between idealism and pragmatism • Conscious Awareness in action • FUN!
