First entry on my new blog home

Love this quote from a blog article I read on the site for a journal call Stanford Social Innovation Review:

"Leaders need to have a healthy vision of self which can only be forged in a combination of knowledge and experience. There are no leaders without personality frailty or imperfection. A will to action marks the leader - a willingness to enter the field of human inter-action where one learns that pain gives rise to compassion; that correction is the author of wisdom; that daring sharpens decision; that courage ennobles the spirit; and that in seeds of doubt reside the flowers of faith."

You can view the entire article here.
