You're Called to Leadership
Posted by BatiaG at 1/13/2008 2:27 PM and is filed under uncategorized 
You've got a burning desire, a mission in life, a reason you've been put here.
You've got to found an organization, start a business, create a movement or a network, introduce a new product to the world to make lives better.
No matter what you want to build, if you're called to leadership, you can be sure of one thing -- that whatever you build will be endowed with the indelible stamp of who you are. Leadership inevitably reveals our deepest selves and challenges us on levels we could never have anticipated.
Only those who are able to rise above their childhood training, their personal preferences and idiosyncracies, their own family traditions and even their larger culture will be able to create the healthiest, most limber and most effective organizations.
This blog is dedicated to thoughts about what it takes to succeed by living the most conscious, holistic and joyful life you can choose. It's dedicated to the creation of process and product together. And it's dedicated to the best brand of leadership -- the balanced leadership of a cultured, intentive life.

I think the aim of this blog is all-around wonderful. What, indeed, does it take "to succeed by living the most conscious, holistic and joyful life" that each of us can imagine for ourselves. If more people on this planet would give more though to your question, well, how much better we would all be for it. I especially love your idea of fusing process and product. When Thoreau encouraged us to move confidently in the direction of our dreams, I think that you and he had the same thing in mind. The "moving" is the process; the product is the manifestation of dream fulfilled. May your blog help us all move forward toward rich, inventive, and caring lives. Thanks for starting this blog, Batia.
