Leadership or Mastery?

Leadership is not held in a management statement or to develop your brand image, it lives in authenticity and is able to stand alone. Real leadership follows one-self and does not look left or right but rises above problems to see solutions were always there when viewed from another perspective. True leadership seeks truth and fosters environments of balance. Leadership is not seen to be but actually reflects a quality of service and integrity. Gender will not define the leaders of the future, they will be the ones that found their true nature. For one leads oneself, and all others choose the same, this is empowerment. Leadership translates into mastery when creating many masters. This is the true definition of power.

LEADERSHIP OR MASTERY

What is leadership?
Is it authority?
Is it knowing the answers?
Is it stature?
Is it reputation?
Is it steadfast adherence to past decisions?
For many are seeking leadership,
Yet leadership can not be sought,
You are either a leader or not.

A true leader serves,
Allows others to have their say,
Asks many questions,
Is unconcerned with status,
Is prepared to lose reputation if it runs against the grain,
For one becomes isolated,
One is alone,
As a leader leads oneself,
She doesn’t require followers,
He cultivates inner power,
The power to choose,
Through enlightened
self governance.

Many have turned to the father,
Many have sought someone to take the lead,
For they are not prepared to take responsibility,
For position and status demand an answer,
Yet these structures have a tradition,
Dominance was perceived as strength,
Aggression as power,
Yet in truth there is no power in taking power,
For the collective becomes weaker,
As we watch the civilisation
Go into decline.

The greatest strengths are not leadership,
They live in humility,
In self knowledge,
In truth,
For these are the three horse men,
Who are not blind,
They lead with sense,
For sense-ability,
Seeks the middle ground of compromise,
As one is sharing the pie…

Equally divided,
Equally owned,
Equally enjoyed,

This is the mastery of the future,
For there will be no leaders,
There will be no followers.

For when we all take responsibility for what we create,
We will choose in the next few years
To stand on our feet,
Or live on our knees,
And the latter is not conducive
To natural selection.
