… and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.
– Harvey S. Firestone

– Confucius
Self-actualisation…
… takes motivation, determination and discipline. Like everyone else, leaders must develop their brains over time and live with greater consciousness and awareness to become the leader they were meant to be.
