The more self-centered you become in a higher position, the more miserable you become. Think of how a grandfather is pulled around by his grandson. The greatest leader is the spiritual educator. It also creates a sense of incompatibility between headquarters and the frontline. When you wake up, think always of your members.
Flattery is different than loyalty.
The leader who can't discern the former from the latter shall perish in the end. True leadership is to make someone belong to God's Will and to live for the sake of others. All leaders should have the same heart as a parent or teacher. If a person tries to use his organization for his own advantage, he shall perish. A leader is lonely and has a heavy feeling of responsibility.
