Sharing Compassion

Kuczmarski, S.S.; & Kuczmarski, T.D. (2007). Apples are Square: thinking differently about leadership. New York: Kaplan Publishing.

Great leaders recognize that compassion begins from within. Only when individuals can forgive themselves and love themselves, can they give that forgiveness and love to others. It is a difficult task because we all stumble through life’s journey.

Leaders fail just like everyone else; however, what strengthens them is the ability to learn from that failure to help them and their teams succeeed in the future. We have all been knocked down before; a great leader sis always there to help you get back up (Kuczmarski & Kuczmarski, 2007, p. 50).
