This exploration of the leadership mindset is a stand-alone part of the “Purpose” series. Leadership requires a mindset of wisdom which brings order inspired by love. Without love and empathy, leadership becomes exploitative, abusive, or tyrannous. Sometimes, we find ourselves thrust in positions of leadership without the mental foundation to handle it. This can create a lot of pressure but can also provide opportunities to learn and grow through experience. Some of the main ideas we will explore here in relation to purpose are:

• Thoughts for meditation on leadership
• The challenges that occur when we find ourselves in leadership positions without the right mindset
• The mindset needed for leadership
• Taking leadership of our minds
• Leading with empathy
