Thought Tweet #676

by Rick Baker
On Feb 18, 2013

Thought Tweet #676 If we want to change society then the best 1st step is spending 20 minutes a day working on self-understanding.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

The question was asked at the HBR LInkedIn group..."How can we change society? Just give one step which you feel will change society.

Change requires Courage.

Change requires knowledge of self and knowledge of others.

Change cascades like dominos:

Courage

Self-Knowledge

Self-Education

Self-Discipline

Self-Change

Self-Confidence

Confidence in Others

Teaching Others: Courage, Self-Knowledge, Self-Education, Self-Discipline, Self-Confidence

Working With Others: Creating Change For The Better 

  

This is the stuff of leadership
