Good article, Howiestern.
I've copied the best pullquotes that struck a chord with me:
We venerate them as living symbols of power, freedom, and transcendence.
Successful leaders are fearless. They face problems head on.
Vision is a successful leadership characteristic.
Everyone must have a vision that guides and leads his team towards the organization’s or societal goals. The vision must be big and focused.
Great leaders are problem solvers. They don’t complain like the pigeons do. They love to take challenges as the eagle does when the storm comes.
They never stop giving challenges but never give-up empowering and directing.
...the eagle retreats to a mountaintop and over a five month period goes through a metamorphosis. It knocks off its own beak by banging it against a rock, plucks out its talons and then feathers.
Great leaders are the ones that always do “checks and balances” of their personal and professional lives and make an effort to learn new things every day.
Isn't this very much the metamorphosis of the DJ? Plucking the feathers of conditioning that is holding us back from our true potential?
