Leading Others

Among the people, in the Council. Humility is the bedrock of true leadership. Humility cannot be feigned. It also cannot be disguised, if it is genuine. It is always pervasive in the true heart. It is forever absent for those who do not walk truthfully. The greatest Chief demands nothing of his nation, Yet he is prepared to give all to his people. The most feared Warrior needs no weapon. The most powerful Medicine Woman walks with her hands empty. If you wish to lead, you cannot. If you desire power, you will remain forever powerless. If you lack genuine humility, all will know you And forever distrust you.
