your body will disappear - that will not make any

25. LOOK &LISTEN: All these great leaders
have a vision, and the ability to manifest it.

own vision and begins with looking &
listing.
I found 4 important steps, involved in this LOOK & LISTEN:

Once you satisfied that you have gone through all these stages
your vision in any given moment will emerges.

out the best in others, but successful
visionaries go even further. They form
lasting emotional bonds.
When people are emotionally bonded to you,
they want to have contact with you. They
want to be of service and share in your
vision.

build real relationships and share yourself.

possibility it tells leader which is the right
one to take. As a leader, your own
awareness affects, everyone around you.

But Vision & Action must be compatible, to
make them so requires Skill. That skill begins

action. Power comes from self awareness that is
responsive to feedback but independent of the

others at the same time as you empower
yourself. It raises the states of leaders and team
together.

isn’t invested in either doing or thinking.
Everyday their existence is focused on
keeping to the right path, wherever it leads.

39. Responsibility: It means having concern for
everyone’s personal growth. This responsibility
begins with your own evolution. In 8 areas of

than the others. Successful leaders can all look back
at small miracles in their lives, but successful
visionaries look back at major miracles.
And all these leaders believes in this soul & wisdom
which makes them the great legendary of this ERA.
