Thank you Ravi for sharing your thoughts with us. There are many factors that come into play of a great leader and I agree that they must be crystal clear on their intent. Knowing how they want to serve and for what purpose will help fuel at that they do.

The intent must be crystal clear and its assimilated internally first. Only then the rest will play in harmony

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Ettie. I agree that empathy is important yet it has to be paired with 'wise wisdom' and balanced with other leadership skills.

Life is meaningless if we cannot put ourselves in other people's shoes. A leader without empathy is receiving only 50% of whatever is the goal.
