Leadership with a Twist of Yoga

John knows he is right. He is smart. His behavior is upright. He has good intentions. Then everything suddenly collapsed. Because he felt he was in the right, he continued on his way proud and unconcerned.

Not only did John's whole "empire" collapse, so did the people who had supported him. John was a banker, but I have seen the same scenario play out in nonprofit leadership at large international organizations and local Girl Scout troops.

The circumstances did not cause John's downfall. His arrogance did his certainty that he was "right." There is something about thinking that we are right that causes us to become rigid. As a leader, it is important to be strong, and also flexible.
